The City at your doorstep.

Alamo Square's best kept little secret. Where Divisadero's buzzing corridor, Hayes Valley's celebrated tables, and the Park's easy weekend rhythm are all just a short stroll away.
Tucked privately at the center of the block on an extraordinarily large 5,520 sq ft lot, this two-story stand-alone, detached cottage is a rare find in one of San Francisco's most beloved and storied neighborhoods. Connected to a handsome three-unit Victorian anchoring the property's frontage, the home feels like its own secret world, secluded and serene, yet steps from everything that makes this corner of the city so irresistible.

Inside, updates throughout meet timeless character.  Tall paneled ceilings with recessed lighting, an open stairwell, wide-plank flooring, gorgeous french doors, and windows with beautiful outlooks. Outside, the home claims two exclusive-use outdoor areas: a brick patio and redwood decking, making outdoor dining and lazy afternoons feel like a luxury. An exclusive-use shed-like structure, as noted on the property's condo map, offers flexible bonus space ideal for a workshop, studio, or Zoom room.

Whether you're lingering over a weekend cortado from Lady Falcon's iconic coffee truck at the top of Alamo Square Park, catching a tennis match, walking the dog, making your way to Bi-rite and the wildly popular Divisadero Corridor for dinner at one of the neighborhood's celebrated restaurants, or heading a few blocks south to Hayes Valley's vibrant dining scene and an evening at the San Francisco Opera or Symphony, this is a home that puts the very best of the city at your doorstep without sacrificing a shred of privacy from the hustle-and-bustle of SF locals and tourists.

A dynamic pied-à-terre. A fabulous forever home. Your own little piece of San Francisco. Includes one-car parking in tandem with one neighbor only, with EV charger, and shared laundry.

Alamo Square: One of San Francisco's Most Celebrated Neighborhoods

Alamo Square is more than the home of the world-famous Painted Ladies. It is one of San Francisco's most vibrant, storied, and genuinely livable neighborhoods. The iconic Victorian row along Steiner Street, famously known as Postcard Row and recognized the world over as the backdrop of Full House, draws visitors from every corner of the globe. Yet for those who live here, the neighborhood's real draw is far more personal. Alamo Square Park, transformed by a $5.3 million renovation in 2017, is the beating heart of the community, offering panoramic city views, a dog run, tennis courts, a beloved playground, Lady Falcon Coffee, and beautifully landscaped walking paths. Historic landmarks including the William Westerfeld House, the Chateau Tivoli, and the Archbishop's Mansion line the surrounding streets, each a testament to the preservation movement of the 1970s that saved this neighborhood's architectural soul.

Just beyond Alamo Square, two of the city's most dynamic corridors await. Hayes Valley, once an overlooked stretch beneath a freeway overpass, has emerged as one of San Francisco's most celebrated destinations, a walkable village of acclaimed restaurants, independent boutiques, wine bars, and design studios that draw locals from every corner of the city. The Divisadero Corridor extends that energy northward, home to an exceptional concentration of beloved neighborhood institutions. Bi-Rite Market, a true San Francisco institution, sits alongside celebrated restaurants, cafes, and some of the city's most cherished independent shops.

Practical connectivity matches the neighborhood's lifestyle appeal. Several Muni lines service the area, placing downtown, the Presidio, the Financial District, and beyond within a 30-minute ride. The Central Freeway 101, just one mile away, makes Silicon Valley commutes entirely manageable. This is a neighborhood that rewards those who truly know San Francisco.
