126 College Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

Perfectly positioned in Bernal Heights on the cusp of Glen Park, Noe Valley, and the Mission, this charming semi-detached Victorian blends timeless character, generous living space, and an exceptionally large south facing garden. Even more impressive inside than its charming exterior suggests, the home is rich with period character and exceptional bones. Gracious double parlor living and dining rooms feature soaring ceilings, crown molding, and beautiful natural light. The bright, updated kitchen is graced with an expansive central window and offers new stainless appliances, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and ceramic tile. The main level includes three spacious bedrooms and a full bath with new vanity and a classic clawfoot soaking tub. Nearly every room enjoys peaceful views of neighboring park like gardens, the spires of St. John's Church, and the rolling southern hills. The ample primary bedroom and walk-in closet offer an appreciable opportunity to add a primary ensuite bath, enhancing value while preserving the home's character. A charming attic retreat, accessed by built in ladder stairs, provides the perfect space for a yoga studio, artist's loft, home office, meditation room, or teen hideaway. The lower level offers exceptional flexibility, with a spacious family room or fourth bedroom, plus a sunny office, playroom, or sunroom that opens directly to the spectacular backyard. Outside, the approximately 3,500 square foot south facing lot is a true rarity. Entertain under the stars, grow a raised vegetable garden, play on the lawn, or simply relax in the sun - the possibilities are endless. A converted garage, adjacent kitchenette, and original bathroom create valuable bonus space for guests, multigenerational living, an au pair, or work from home needs. The driveway provides parking for two cars, a genuine luxury in Bernal Heights. An additional storage room of nearly 500 square feet offers incredible space for a workshop, home gym, laundry, bikes, outdoor gear, and more. Additional improvements include refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior and exterior paint, and an updated electrical system, including complete replacement of knob-and-tube wiring. Just blocks from Glen Park BART, St. Mary's Park, Holly Park, the Noe Valley Recreation Center, and Cortland Avenue's beloved cafes, restaurants and shops, this is the one you've been waiting for! A special, beautiful, and spacious home with room to grow!
