1827 Kirkham St, San Francisco, CA 94122

Located in the Central Sunset 3 blocks from Golden Gate Park, this classically restored center patio residence retains the charm, style, and architectural details of the 1937-era. Parquet hardwood floors, period detail, and original moldings accent living spaces that wrap around a central open-air patio, infusing ambient light and indoor-outdoor flow into an iconic Sunset home. Enter the residence up red brick stairs framed under a Spanish-style archway to a foyer with refurbished hardwood floors with border inlay. To the right is a formal living room graced with oversized bay windows, new sconce lighting, and a wood-burning brick-surround fireplace. The living room is adjacent a formal dining room with modern drum lighting, and a French casement window providing access to the center patio which serves as the fulcrum for the main floor. From the dining room, the rooms wrap around the center patio, including a sunny breakfast nook with a vintage white built-in cabinet and period beadboard, opening onto the center patio. The breakfast nook flows into a cheerful kitchen that blends charm with modern upgrades. New stainless-steel appliances, including a gas range with griddle and refrigerator, are set against black-and-white checkerboard tile. Original scalloped white cabinetry has been thoughtfully preserved, while a skylight over the range and new luxury vinyl flooring adds a fresh, modern touch. A hallway off the foyer leads to 2 bright, south-facing bedrooms with refurbished hardwood floors, deep closets, and brand-new double-hung windows overlooking a lovely rear garden. The hallway also includes a split bathroom with vintage yellow and green tiled stall shower and soaking tub beneath a skylight, with a private powder room finished in yellow tile with a new Toto toilet. A rear internal stairway descends to a generous 1,300 +/- sq. ft. garage with serious expansion potential - enough space to add a family room and a 3rd ensuite bedroom opening onto the deep, flat garden while still accommodating parking, laundry, and storage. Step outside and you are a short stroll from Golden Gate Park and the laid-back cafes and corner markets on Irving that give the Sunset its distinctive neighborhood feel. In addition, Ocean Beach, Stern Grove, and the SF Zoo are within reach, along with convenient access to public transportation and the rest of the city!
