    What's special

    New sconcesOne-car parkingExceptional natural lightGracious scaleThoughtfully selected period-inspired lightingFresh interior paintWarm honey oak floors
    Timeless San Francisco character meets gracious scale and exceptional natural light in this distinguished 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence showcasing circa-1900 Spanish Mediterranean architecture and 1,047 square feet of beautifully proportioned living space. A formal foyer with a decorative vintage doorbell chime sets the tone, leading to warm honey oak floors, fresh interior paint, and thoughtfully selected period-inspired lighting. The expansive living room is framed by elegant crown molding and features a decorative fireplace crowned by a distinctive arched niche, new sconces, and generous storage. Western exposure fills the space with afternoon light and offers a front-row seat to striking San Francisco sunsets. The adjoining formal dining room is equally inviting, with a large picture window creating a bright and elegant setting for everyday dining and entertaining. The kitchen blends function and flexibility with stainless steel appliances, an electric range, microwave, generous counter space, and ample cabinetry with convenient pull-out drawers. A stacked washer and dryer adds everyday ease. Two well-proportioned bedrooms include a generous primary bedroom overlooking Buena Vista Park, where mornings begin with the sunrise and leafy park views, complemented by a walk-in cedar closet. The full bathroom features a marble-inlaid tile floor, vintage tiled wall, and tub-and-shower combination, along with a separate water closet area for added privacy. Additional features include radiant heating, exceptional closet and cabinet storage, one-car parking, and access to a large shared backyard. Notable building improvements include a completed structural seismic retrofit, Romex electrical wiring, and a newer roof. Ideally situated directly across from Buena Vista Park and moments from the shops, coffee houses, dining, and neighborhood amenities of Haight-Ashbury and Cole Valley, this exceptional residence offers a rare blend of architectural character, park-side living, and quintessential San Francisco lifestyle.
