SAN FRANCISCO
The popular 22-room Inn at the Presidio will soon be expanded to include an additional four rooms in a nearby historic house. Rooms at the Inn at the Presidio, the first lodging in the Presidio, have been in high demand since it opened in April, 2012.
The new guestrooms, a project of the Presidio Trust, will be located in a rehabilitated historic house on Funston Avenue, just down the street from the Inn at the Presidio. Funston Avenue, also known as “Officers’ Row” is lined with wood-frame homes that make up the oldest intact streetscape in San Francisco and one of the park’s most photogenic landscapes. The homes were originally built circa 1862 for U.S. Army officers and their families.
The Funston House rehabilitation is expected to achieve a “Green Point” rating, an independent seal of approval that verifies a home has been built or remodeled according to proven green standards.
Like the Inn at the Presidio, the Funston House’s interior will celebrate the Presidio’s past with artisan details and memorabilia, complemented by comfortable, modern furnishings. Historic photographs and contemporary regional art will bring to life the park's military history and amazing natural setting. The $1 million renovation includes four bedrooms, a common living room, dining room, service kitchen, and outdoor porch and patio.
