Ready for its next chapter...

In the same family for more than 50 years, this Outer Richmond jewel box is ready for its next chapter.  With its sweet layout, you'll find everything you need is exactly where you want it: walk in the door and you enter a spacious living room with large windows, a majestic corner fireplace and decorative stained glass windows.  Hardwood floors run throughout  -  formerly covered by wall-to-wall carpet, the floors gleam as you walk through the home.

Next is the roomy formal dining room which is right next to the cozy but well laid-out kitchen. Down the hall is the large primary bedroom (with generous closet space), the second bedroom and a rear sunroom/bonus room.  Larger than most rear rooms in homes with similar floorplans, what stands out here are the unobstructed drop-dead gorgeous views of the  ocean.  Downstairs is a carpeted bonus room, laundry room, loads of storage, one-car parking and access to the charming, level backyard.

You're steps to Geary Boulevard, with its transit, shops, restaurants and cafes.  In the other direction you're minutes from outer Balboa and all of its unique offerings.  Possibly best of all, you're just minutes to Ocean Beach with its miles of glorious beaches.

This is a special home with enormous potential, ready for the many possibilities that await someone's vision.

Neighborhood

If you are looking for a beautiful neighborhood in San Francisco surrounded by the most popular parks in the Bay Area, the Outer Richmond District is a great place to call home. The community is filled with gorgeous row houses that hug the sloped streets of the Richmond District. With its variety of ethnically diverse communities throughout the neighborhood, living in the Richmond District is a true cultural experience.

While the westernmost park of Geary Road can be heavily trafficked, there are plenty of great restaurants and shops to explore on nearby Balboa Street. Enjoy your morning coffee along with a tasty breakfast sandwich at the highly-rated La Promenade Cafe, or stop by the long-standing Simple Pleasures Cafe if you’re craving a bagel or muffin. The Outer Richmond neighborhood is a great place to explore a variety of cuisines around the world, including the Al-Masri Egyptian Restaurant and the local Vietnamese favorite Mr. Banh Mi. 

One of the best features of the Outer Richmond District is it’s within walking distance of Golden Gate Park. The park is home to a wide variety of different activities and festivals, including a free bluegrass festival, as well as the Outside Lands Music Festival. Golden Gate park also features several bike and jogging paths, botanical and Japanese gardens, and since the park is closed to car traffic, it provides a peaceful escape from the constant bustle of San Francisco.

The Outer Richmond District is also just a mile away from the scenic Ocean Beach. Known for its high winds and strong currents, Ocean Beach is perfect for surfing, biking along the coast, or simply hanging out. Plus, the beach is dog-friendly and as long as your pooch is well-trained, they can enjoy the beach off leash!

Outer Richmond District residents can explore one of the Bay Area’s most popular tourist attractions found at Sutro Baths. What originally began as a bathhouse in the late 19th Century, Sutro Baths suffered through a variety of economic hardships and ultimately succumbed to a fire in the mid-60s.
