$2 million Edwardian in Cole Valley is so magical, Harry Potter could have lived here

By

Stained glass windows, a sun room, and a cascading backyard? You'll take it.

Looking on from the street, this Cole Valley Edwardian is reminiscent of one of the quaint homes on Privet Drive, childhood home of Harry Potter and the Dursleys—brick, sloping roof, and period windows for your owl to fly in and out. It's all about the details here, starting with those pretty columned fenestellas that hold within them a parade of geometric shapes, some colored, some clear. The framework of this dishy number even takes a unique form with masts crisscrossing to create a woven design.

Upon entering the home, you'll be greeted with warm wood paneling through the foyer, dining area and stairway. Saunter over hardwood floors with crimson detailing (perhaps Celtic-inspired) into the living room to be greeted with an abundance of natural light streaming through jade and cream-hued panels. These stained glass elements flow through the entire home in the form of custom cabinetry and many of the windows. There's even charming wallpaper. Olive-toned vines wind wind up the walls of the dining room, while amber-toned florals cover the walls of the stairway.

Despite the period elements, modern amenities are found in the marble countertops and contemporaries tiles in the chef's kitchen and remodeled bathrooms. Also included are stellar lounge areas—chill with some music or a book in the airy sitting room with panoramic views, or sunbathe in the backyard with a picnic.
