1220 Russia Avenue is a classic 1933 Spanish Mediterranean Storybook home built in the style of the San Francisco houses by Oliver and Arthur Rousseau. The house spreads around an accessible central tiled patio that invites in the sun and natural light. This signature floor plan, maximizing interior light and air into living spaces, supports the unique indoor-outdoor relationship, delivering three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an office with generous closets and expansive views. The kitchen adjoins the bright breakfast room, and both offer ample cabinetry. The Old-World European charm of the rustic facade with textured stucco, bricks, and stone accents complements the visible clay tile roof. Warm terra cotta tiles on the tread, paired with vibrant, painted ceramic tiles on the riser, meet you at the stairs. The house is on a no-through road, just two residences away from the entrance to John McLaren Park, San Francisco's second-largest park, spanning 312 acres of lush forests, sweeping city panoramas, and vibrant spaces. Its interior reveals artistic details such as the stencil work on the living room ceilings, the Mahogany front door with original hardware, recessed arches, wrought-iron inflections and original light fixtures. and parquet floors with an inlaid border. The primary suite has views of the city, a small wood-burning fireplace with a sitting area, and its en-suite bathroom. A delightfully expansive garage and laundry, a lush garden, and plentiful storage make this house ideal. The solar energy system is owned, but the unexpected bonus is the impressive expansion potential to grow into a legacy family compound.
