Thirty-nine steps to the front door. The current owner counted them once and never forgot. Partly because of the climb, partly because of the Hitchcock film he loves. The 39 Steps, 1935. A man on the run, a chase across the countryside, a story that turns on a single detail… Read More nobody else notices. The seller calls it a great movie. He's right. This house is its own kind of great. A mid-century hillside home where the architecture does what the best mid-century work always did. It gets out of the way and lets California in. Walls of glass. Soaring ceilings. The kind of indoor-outdoor flow that makes you forget where the living room ends and the hillside begins. The view is the kind you stop talking mid-sentence to look at. When asked what he loves most about the house, the seller didn't hesitate. "The views are what sold it to me. But, and I'm not joking, I will miss the stairs. I use them so often I don't notice them anymore. Without them, I will not be as fit."That is the truth about this house. The climb becomes the rhythm of the day. By the time you reach the threshold, the city is already below you and the noise is already gone. Thirty-nine steps is not a flaw. It is the price of admission, and according to the seller, it is also the gym membership. Inside, the gourmet kitchen anchors the main level. Built for someone who actually cooks, with the kind of finishes and flow that make weeknight dinners feel like something more. The living spaces open generously, framed by those soaring ceilings that give the home its mid-century proportion and light. And those views the seller fell for? They follow you from room to room. The outdoor life here is a choice, not a default. Out front, a space to greet the morning, take the call, watch the neighborhood wake up. Out back, off the living room, the hillside opens up and the city unfolds. One side for the world, one side for the view. Pick your moment, pick your mood, and the house meets you there. Upstairs, the primary suite is its own world. A massive bathroom, a walk-in closet sized for a real wardrobe, and a separate office space tucked into the suite. Perfect for the work-from-home life without sacrificing the sanctity of the bedroom. Soaring ceilings throughout. Light from every angle. There are houses that are easy to get to and forgettable to live in. This is the opposite. This is a house you climb to. A house that asks something of you at the door and gives it back tenfold once you're inside. Mid-century architecture, hillside privacy, a primary suite that lives like a retreat, a kitchen built for the kind of life worth coming home to, and one of the best views in the city.Thirty-nine steps. Worth every one. Read Less
