Welcome to 1214-29th Avenue the undeniable Queen of the Parkway Terrace neighborhood. Parkway Terrace is bordered by 27th and 33rd Avenues and by Lincoln Way on the North and Irving Street on the South. The neighborhood is identified by the rounded benches and plaques, which are inscribed with "Parkway Terrace", many of which are preserved and still visible today. Parkway Terrace was originally developed around 1916 by Fernando Nelson and Sons. The developer modeled this neighborhood after Presidio Terrace, where he had built homes, including his own. This neighborhood with wide lots enabled him to build grand detached homes. Fernando Nelson developed this group of homes as an elite and "restricted" enclave. Ultimately Nelson decided to again, live where he worked, and thus sold the home he had built for himself in Presidio Terrace. His new home was located nearby at 2701 Lincoln Way. Fernando Nelson never finished this development, as an opportunity came up in West Portal and he ultimately took an option on 49 acres. He sold the remaining lots to other contractors.From the exceptionally wide street, one is struck by the lush landscaping and impressive architecture of the detached three-level home (over garage and basement) which sits on approximately 100 feet of 29th Avenue frontage. 1214-29th Avenue occupies two distinct lots with two addresses, 1214 and 1222 29th Avenue. There are two separate block and lot numbers and the two lots total 12,000 square feet per city records. The house sits on an 8,000 square foot lot and the southern garden sits on a separate 4000 sq. ft. lot. The abundant green space surrounding this grand residence allows for beautiful gardens, patios, a greenhouse, gazebo and two tall palm trees in a park like setting.Upon entering you immediately notice the tile floor in the bright, sizable foyer.
