Facebook Australia's ex-head of operations is selling his San Francisco home that sits on a beloved off-beaten path in the city. Take a look inside the $4 million house.

Paul Borrud is the former head honcho of Facebook's operations in Australia and New Zealand.

Despite his decision to stay in Australia, Borrud turned to San Francisco's Macondray Lane for a place in the city in 2013.

The idyllic pathway runs east to west between Taylor and Leavenworth Streets.

He scooped up this four-story home in 2013 for $2.8 million.

The exterior is wooden, and sits just off the pathway.

The home features four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

There are 3,373 square feet of living space.

It was built in 1900 and saw a major remodel in 2013, according to Zillow.

There's the main floor where an open concept layout holds a dining room and high ceilings.

The kitchen is on this level as well. It's a "chef's kitchen" with bar seating and high-end appliances.

There's a living room, where stunning views overlooking the bay to the north are afforded.

The home comes with two outdoor terraces.

The views from them are stunning.

Borrud didn't buy the home back in 2013 for its ties to "Tales of the City," according to SF Gate.

He was enamored with the views, with the Bay Bridge, Coit Tower, and Alcatraz all in the distance to admire.

A spiral staircase leads upstairs.

There's a den just off the stairs of the upper level.

And then there's a solarium-style living room just off the stairwell that has pane after pane of glass letting in natural light.

A sweeping view of the bay is also visible from here.

Down on the lower floor is a space for laundry and storage.

As much as Borrud loves the home, he doesn't get to use it often since he lives in Sydney, Australia.

"I love everything about the property and hate to see it go," he told SF Gate.

There isn't a garage with the property, but a 12-month lease for neighborhood parking comes with the sale.

The listing is a far cry from Borrud's Australian property, which hosts a massive bash he throws each year, complete with a 100-meter water slide.
