As a stand-alone, two-story detached cottage tucked away from the street, this property offers a unique 'secret world' level of privacy and quietude that is exceptionally rare for a San Francisco condominium.
The home boasts two exclusive-use outdoor areas—a brick patio and redwood decking—plus a separate shed-like structure perfect for a private home office or creative studio, significantly expanding the functional living area.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 472, other record living area = 430.
At just 472 square feet, the compact footprint may be a challenge for buyers with significant storage needs or those seeking a more spacious primary residence.
The requirement for tandem parking with a neighbor and the use of shared laundry facilities may be seen as a convenience drawback for buyers at this price point.
Tucked privately at the center of the block on an extraordinarily large 5,520 sq ft lot, this two-story stand-alone, detached cottage is a rare find in one of San Francisco's most beloved and storied neighborhoods. Connected to a handsome three-unit Victorian anchoring the property's frontage, the home feels like its own secret world, secluded and serene, yet steps from everything that makes this corner of the city so irresistible. Inside, updates throughout meet timeless character. Tall paneled ceilings with recessed lighting, an open stairwell, wide-plank flooring, gorgeous french doors, and windows with beautiful outlooks. Outside, the home claims two exclusive-use outdoor areas: a brick patio and redwood decking, making outdoor dining and lazy afternoons feel like a luxury. An exclusive-use shed-like structure, as noted on the property's condo map, offers flexible bonus space ideal for a workshop, studio, or Zoom room. Whether you're lingering over a weekend cortado from Lady Falcon's iconic coffee truck at the top of Alamo Square Park, catching a tennis match, walking the dog, making your way to Bi-rite and the wildly popular Divisadero Corridor for lunch or dinner at one of the neighborhood's celebrated restaurants, or heading a few blocks south to Hayes Valley's vibrant dining scene and an evening at the San Francisco Opera or Symphony, this is a home that puts the very best of the city at your doorstep without sacrificing a shred of privacy from the hustle-and-bustle of SF locals and tourists. A dynamic pied--terre. A fabulous forever home. Your own little piece of San Francisco. Includes one-car parking in tandem with one neighbor only, and shared laundry.
