Mid-century modern treasure in Diamond Heights available for the first time in 25 years! Perched on the edge of Glen Canyon Park, 44 Turquoise Way is a rare architectural gem designed in 1962 by renowned mid-century Dutch architect Max Garcia. A striking example of the International Style movement, this residence embodies simplicity, clean lines, and functionality, seamlessly integrating nature with urban living. With 70 individual windows, the home feels weightless and open, effortlessly blurring the boundaries between indoors and out.

A private Japanese-inspired garden welcomes you at the entrance, enclosed by a front gate that enhances the sense of seclusion and connection to nature. Stepping inside, a bright breakfast area is surrounded by windows that frame the lush greenery outside. The adjacent kitchen, a charming nod to the 1960s, features a Dutch door, Thermador combination microwave, warming drawer and oven, SubZero refrigerator, Thermador cooktop with hood, built-in cutting board, stainless steel countertops, and a stunning mosaic glass tile backsplash.

The formal dining room is bathed in natural light, with expansive floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto a spacious deck, offering breathtaking views of the treetops and hillsides of Glen Canyon Park. Just beyond, the sunken living room showcases mid-century design at its finest, with rich hardwood floors, a striking white brick accent wall, fireplace, original colorful glass windows, and a pony wall with a built-in television and floating console, maintaining the home’s period charm whilst allowing for modern conveniences. A chic powder room and coat closet complete this level.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat, complete with a custom-built closet that discreetly houses a built-in television. The en-suite primary bathroom is fully encased in turquoise tile, with a skylit ceiling, double vanity, radiant heated floor, and glass-enclosed shower that creates a spa-like atmosphere. The guest bedroom is equally attractive, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the surrounding greenery, with a full wall of closets providing ample storage. A second bathroom includes a shower over tub with a mosaic tile surround and a skylight overhead, and a third bedroom or office offers versatility and additional space.

A detached two-car garage sits at the front of the property, complete with a side-by-side washer and dryer and a utility sink. Situated in the heart of San Francisco’s Diamond Heights, this home offers not only architectural pedigree but also an unbeatable location—steps from Glen Canyon Park and just moments from the Diamond Heights Shopping Center, with equally easy access to downtown, SFO airport and the South Bay.

Designed with an appreciation for open space, geometric purity, and a seamless flow between indoors and out, 44 Turquoise offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of San Francisco’s architectural history.
