Privately set on nearly half an acre in historic Bankers Hill, 3252 Front Street pairs 1939 Colonial Revival charm with modern luxury and rare privacy. Behind iron electronic gates, a driveway for up to five vehicles leads to a secluded canyon retreat within feet of the iconic Spruce Street Suspension Bridge, with no neighboring homes in sight. Landscaped grounds include walking paths, seating areas beneath mature pines, and a children's playground, and the rear gate opens directly onto a hiking trail in Banker's Hill Canyon Open Space. Inside, an elegant staircase, statement chandeliers, and a fireplace mantel crafted from old railroad track showcase the home's character. Modern comforts include a 30-camera security system, sensor-operated Moen bidets with heated seats, Google Nest thermostats, and updated HVAC. The kitchen features an oversized island with pot filler, a classic wet bar, a bay seating lounge, and premium ZLINE appliances.

Situated on nearly half an acre in Bankers Hill with no visible neighbors and direct canyon access, this property offers a rare level of seclusion and expansive outdoor space for an urban coastal setting.
With four bedrooms but only two-and-a-half bathrooms, the home lacks the high ratio of en-suite facilities typically expected by buyers in the $4 million luxury market.
Despite extensive modern upgrades, the 1939 vintage may involve inherent limitations in floor plan flexibility or potential maintenance requirements common to heritage properties.
