Three bedrooms, one full bathroom, quarter bath, entryway, formal entry, formal living room with woodburning fireplace, dining room, sunny kitchen, laundry area with washer and dryer, enormous attic with high ceilings and window, carriage house with close to 14-foot ceilings, mechanic’s pit, deck, total of 9 car parking, large garage with interior access, large basement offering amazing storage and expansion potential, park-like sunny backyard/garden with fruit trees and garden shed, decorative fireplace in bedroom. Roof replaced in main house and carriage house in 2006.
Offered for the first time in over 64 years, this exceptional 1907 home presents a rare opportunity to own one of the earlier homes in the coveted Sunnyside neighborhood. Set on an expansive double lot of nearly 5,000 square feet, this fully detached Craftsman has been lovingly held by just two families since its construction.
Rich in character and architectural integrity, the home showcases timeless details including 10-foot ceilings, wood-beamed and coved ceilings, oak hardwood floors, and an abundance of original moldings. A large attic with impressive ceiling height offers additional potential, while French pane, bay, and transom windows fill the home with natural light.
Complementing the main residence is a separate detached carriage house with dramatic ceiling volume, ideal for a variety of future uses.
The park-like expansive grounds provide a rare sense of space in the city, offering endless possibilities for outdoor living, entertaining, or creating a truly bespoke dream garden retreat.
A once-in-a-generation offering, this is a remarkable opportunity to restore, reimagine, and create a legacy property in one of San Francisco’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
The inviting Sunnyside neighborhood blends quiet residential charm with excellent city access. Tree-lined streets and a strong sense of community make it a desirable place to call home. Local schools, including Sunnyside Elementary School, St. Finn Barr School, Riordan High School, Lick Wilmerding High School and City College of San Francisco add to the neighborhood’s appeal, while nearby parks like Sunnyside Playground Park, Glen Canyon Park and Dorothy Erskine Park offer scenic trails and open space. The Sunnyside Conservatory is a hidden gem featuring landscaped gardens and a historic conservatory building, more of a serene garden setting than an active park. Shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences are just minutes away along Monterey Boulevard, Ocean Avenue and Glen Park village. Commuters benefit from easy access to Glen Park BART and nearby highways 280 and 101, making travel throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area simple and convenient.
Main Floor: A tiled entryway opens to a Formal Entry highlighted by coved ceilings, natural light, and a beautiful vintage solid wood door with glass accents and original moldings.
The Formal Living Room showcases hardwood oak floors, high wood-beamed ceilings, and elegant French-pane windows. A wood-burning fireplace with classic brick surround and wood mantle anchors the space, complemented by built-in cabinetry with leaded glass.
Two spacious Bedrooms feature hardwood floors, coved ceilings, bay windows and an abundance of vintage charm. One offers a decorative fireplace, bay windows, transom windows, and a walk-in closet with built-in shelving, while the second includes three closets and beautiful beveled glass transom details.
The Bathroom maintains its original character with tiled walls, a shower-over-tub, vanity sink, medicine cabinet with beveled glass mirror, toilet, window and built-in storage.
The hallway features high ceilings, moldings, hardwood floors and a wall panel with attic access.
The Kitchen is equipped with quartz countertops, tile backsplash, a four-burner gas range with Allure hood, Frigidaire refrigerator/freezer, and double stainless-steel sink, all framed by high ceilings, moldings, and charming French-pane windows.
A Dining Room offers the perfect setting for gatherings, with generous proportions and classic detailing.
Additional highlights include a dedicated Laundry Area with Whirlpool dryer and Maytag washer, plus a Water Closet with toilet and access to a large Attic with window and impressive ceiling height, offering further expansion potential.
A rear door leads to a Deck overlooking the expansive backyard.
A third Bedroom completes this floor, featuring hardwood floors and serene garden views.
Lower Level: The expansive basement includes a workshop area, utility space with furnace and water heater, and a sink. Interior access leads to a two-car garage, along with significant potential for future expansion.
Incredible outdoor space and additional features a long driveway that accommodates multiple vehicles, while the oversized backyard and garden provide endless possibilities for outdoor living.
A rare highlight: a detached Carriage House with soaring vaulted ceilings and window, ideal for creative use, studio space, or future development.
