| Located on a quiet block of Winfield Street, famous for its red bricks, in prime northwest Bernal Heights! Bernal Heights and Noe Valley buyers take note, this is a rare opportunity to own a large-scale classic Victorian era home, renovated to today’s standards! This home is private and quiet, yet just a block to Cortland Avenue and close to the top of Bernal Hill. Here you are in the heart of it all - close to neighborhood restaurants, famed Bernal Hill Park, and the transport and services of Mission Street! This property has a very flexible floor plan that will appeal to a wide variety of potential owners. The home is fully connected as a large 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom family house, or a spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, plus 1 bedroom, 1 bath in-law with kitchen and separate entrance. This garden level apartment is internally connected to the rest of the home, but is also well separated and could provide accommodation for teenagers, visiting family members, long-term guests, nannies, or generate possible income. The main level boasts a traditional Victorian layout with a double parlor, used as living room and formal dining room, a large bedroom, full bathroom, but also a contemporary and truly huge family-style modern kitchen and dining area, with massive amounts of cabinet and storage space, and walkout access to a small deck and back yard. The resulting work and prep space, with stone counter tops and stainless steel appliances, is a chef’s delight, but the dining area and island set-up function as the hub of the home, and this is where your family and friends will hang out, and your entertaining take place! Lovely wood floors, quality moldings, wainscoting, and newer windows complete the dream! The top floor features a truly huge main bedroom, bathroom, and a smaller bedroom, great for newborns and younger kids. There is a large amount of closet space on this level, and approved plans (since expired) for a large horizontal addition that could feature an additional bedroom, spa-style bathroom, and view deck. Wow, who wouldn’t love to have the potential for that great addition! The garden-level apartment, with internal access to the rest of the house, a separate street entrance, and walkout access to the secluded rear yard and patio, works well as a 1 bedroom apartment with kitchen, or great family rooms for media, exercise, studio, and office space. Wow, the possibilities are endless, you decide! A large garage offers abundant space for parking, storage and possible workshop. Can you find a better quality home, that meets your requirements for location, space, style, architecture, condition, and love! We think not! This house represents the very best of the Bernal good life. |
