PICTURE PERFECT PORTOLA
$995,000
CLASSIC SAN FRANCISCO HOME
Undeniably charming, this light-filled beautifully updated and well-maintained classic San Francisco home has it all. The striking facade is shaded by mature Weeping Mayten and Japanese Maple trees. Sprouting from the front garden is an adorable tiny lending library, welcoming you up the sturdy brick front steps to a deco-inspired wrought iron gate that frames the entryway. Walk through the front door to a classic layout that invites socializing and privacy in equal measure.
The commodious living room retains its original trim and parquet floors. A handsome corner fireplace and a picture window that looks across the city and the Bay to Mt Diablo make for a perfect gathering space. Steps away is a remodeled skylit kitchen with ample cabinets, newer appliances and a large dining area bathed in light. When it’s time for bed, two generous bedrooms are in the back for privacy and quiet - with one opening to a convenient deck. A windowed bathroom with tub & separate shower is beautifully outfitted with original period tile.
But that’s not all. The house has been legally expanded downstairs to add a gigantic suite with plenty of room for a third bedroom, work-space and/or family room. Included is a second modern full bath and large walk-in closet. (Downstairs may not be permitted as 3d bedroom - buyer to confirm allowed uses). Ready for some nature? Step out to a huge fenced landscaped back yard with two seating areas and loads of sunlight and fresh air. 1-car garage with another giant finished closet to help organize your life.
All this on a residential street lined with lovely homes and right on the border between Portola & Excelsior, just across from Bernal Heights. Head up 3 blocks to the endless walking paths and recreation options in giant McLaren Park crowning the hill. Take a jaunt to the unique local shops and restaurants on Mission Street or San Bruno Ave. And when it’s time to go further - for work or play - you have ready access to BART, MUNI and the 101 & 280 freeways. Make your life in this classic San Francisco home grounded in the convenience and authenticity of the Portola neighborhood!

Neighborhood
On the border between Portola & Excelsior and just across from Bernal Heights, this home has access to it all. The neighborhood is lined with classic San Francisco homes that have been lovingly maintained and updated. It rolls over the hills, providing views at every turn. And most of all it is a solid community that is the real city we all love.
Certainly one of the gems of the area is McLaren Park. The city's second largest park designed in a "natural" way by the same man who gave us Golden Gate Park. Miles of walking trails and endless recreation options are there, as well as truly spectacular views of urbanity, water, sky and land. It is a jewel of the park system and right in your back yard.
Ready to eat? Both San Bruno Ave & Mission St are close by, as well as Ocean Ave, and offer endless choices of cuisine from around the world. Or travel to Cortland Ave in Bernal Hts for a top of the hill village atmosphere. Local shops abound. Grocers specialize in Asian and Latin American produce, unique coffee shops and every imaginable service. This is a retail environment that is rich in local, and international, appeal.
Want to go further? Numerous MUNI lines are all around. Both Glen Park and Balboa Park BART stations are easily accessible to take you around the Bay. Hop on the 101 or 280 freeways in minutes to shoot across the city, across the Bay or way inland. The convenience of transportation is at your feet.
And when you are finished with all that, come home to your own residential street with friendly neighbors and a low key feel. You get everything on offer in our global city, but ground yourself in what feels like a small town. Perfection!
