A big abode in the Outer Richmond, located a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean, looks like it jumped ship from Pacific Heights for more casual ground. Which isn’t to say that this circa-1987 home is dull. Quite the contrary. Its deceptively simple facade belies a home full of color and contemporary luxury.

Featuring three beds, three and a half baths, and 3,935 square feet, 5529 Anza comes with a grand circular stairway, floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the ocean and Golden Gate Park, walk-out deck, elevator, stained-glass skylight, and more. A treat for those of us who can’t get enough of the city’s signature fog.

“This is a trust sale as my clients’ parents built this home 30 years ago. Their father was a contractor (and fighter pilot in WW2) and built this for he and his wife as their forever home (hence the elevator),” says listing agent Lisa G. Miller of Sotheby’s. “They were big entertainers, owned restaurants, and entertained a lot at this grand ocean view home.”

Asking is $2,995,000.
