271 Sylvan Way: The "Crombie Cabin" Estate

A Sprawling Creative Compound & Historic Shangri-La in Emerald Hills
Where History Meets Inspiration: An Extraordinary Estate of Infinite Potential

Rarely does a property emerge that offers both the intimacy of a soulful retreat and the massive scale of a private park. Set on a breathtaking 28,000+ square foot lot across three parcels, 271 Sylvan Way is a sanctuary for the senses. Known affectionately as the Crombie Cabin, this is one of the last original 1928 summer retreats built for San Franciscans—now lovingly updated into a "one-of-a-kind" creative compound.

The Original Cabin: Warmth, Character, and Craftsmanship
Step inside a piece of history where modern luxury meets rustic charm. The home features:

Panoramic 180-degree views of Edgewood Park and Brittan Heights.

Engineered KOA hardwood floors that radiate warmth throughout.

An original rock fireplace, now featuring a cozy gas insert for effortless ambiance.

A master bath sanctuary complete with a classic clawfoot tub.

Several Skylights that bring in ample light.

A Masterpiece of Outdoor Living: The grounds are nothing short of magical—visitors have often called it a "Shangri-La" on the Peninsula. With 270 feet of frontage just steps from a private entrance to Edgewood Park, your backyard is a literal nature preserve.

The Entertainer’s Dream: Massive decks, a hot tub, a greenhouse, and a fire pit for starlit evenings.

The Outdoor Stage: A unique cultural cornerstone that has hosted House Concerts for touring artists.

Whimsy for All Ages: Includes a dedicated playhouse and lush, meandering paths.

The Dual Creative Studios: The Ultimate Work-From-Home Luxury
What truly defines this estate is the separation of life and art via two detached, light-filled studios. Whether you need an executive office nestled in nature or a vibrant art atelier, these spaces offer the quietude required for deep focus.

A Legacy Opportunity: This isn't just a residence; it's a dedicated retreat for a life well-lived. Whether you are an artist seeking a muse, a professional craving a quiet workspace, or a visionary looking to enjoy the expansive three-lot footprint, this property provides the space to make it a reality.

As the current owners move closer to family, they leave behind a "hidden gem" that feels worlds away from the hustle, yet remains minutes from the Peninsula’s tech hubs.

Come see why visitors ask, "Why would you ever move?"
