SUMMARY
The spectacular Dolores Heights location and downtown views of this stately time-capsule make it as desirable as it is unique. Perched on the hill just south of Dolores Park, and just a few blocks north of Noe Valley's vibrant 24th Street, with its community centered shops and restaurants, the iconic 1889 Victorian home at 3546 21st Street (between Church and Dolores) may be the most original home of its kind in San Francisco. An inviting deck off the north facing top-floor bedroom overlooks the private garden, and also delivers breathtaking views across the City skyline, all the way to the Financial District's most prominent high-rises. With irreplaceable "good bones", and the warmth and charm of a bygone era, this icon of our City's architectural heritage awaits the creativity and vision of its next caretaker. Are you ready to bring this 19th century treasure into your future?
