‘American Gigolo' inspired the ‘alluring' interior of this CA house for sale
A California property that was once just an idea on the silver screen has landed on the real estate market in San Francisco's Dolores Heights neighborhood, and it's certainly something to behold.
'While fans of the 1980's film, 'American Gigolo,' were introduced to a sexy new star in Richard Gere, interior designer Kevin Sawyers and his partner, software engineer Peter Steinauer, were taken by the alluring interior design of Gere's character's apartment,' a news release about the residence said.
The film is a crime drama centering on a high-end escort falling in love with a politician's wife, and it launched the stardom of Gere. His chic apartment almost plays a character all its own in the film, which inspired Sawyers and Steinauer.
'I was thinking about making ourselves look and feel as good in this house as we could, much the way the sets in 'American Gigilo' flattered Richard Gere,' Sawyers said in the release. 'I wanted to create this set that was for us, for me and Pete.'
With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home is listed for $6.8 million.
Features in and around the 3,174-square-foot residence, per the listing on Compass, include:
Massive windowsMetal exteriors'Cedar-clad garage'City viewsPatioFirepitLED lightningSliding glass doorsChef's kitchenFlex level
'While this home is a breathtaking showcase property, the true genius lies in all the invisible and thoughtful details that make the home a delight for every day life in the city,' listing agent Matt Fuller said in the release.
The home has been featured in numerous publications including the New York Times, the release noted.
