About this Home
Situated on a desirable corner lot this bright, fully detached single family home perfectly balances classic architectural character with modern upgrades. Thanks to its coveted southern exposure, an abundance of natural light fills both the interior and spacious backyard, while the upper-level bedrooms and private deck offer views of the Pacific Ocean.
The main level features a gracious living room centered around a fireplace and classic built-in shelving with coved ceilings and period details. This sophisticated space flows seamlessly into the formal dining room. The updated kitchen preserves its vintage charm while incorporating premium marble countertops, high-end appliances, and a versatile attached breakfast room. A generous bedroom and a thoughtfully designed bathroom with marble flooring complete this level. The upper floor boasts two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom, providing an optimal, private layout.
The primary has a charming changing room and large walk-in closet. Both upper bedrooms frame views of the ocean, with the 2nd bedroom opens directly onto a private roof deck which overlooks the water.
The expansive ground level delivers exceptional utility, featuring a large workshop, dedicated laundry area, and extensive storage space. The two-car tandem garage comes fully equipped with a Tesla EV charger and a Puronics water purification system. Outside, the sun-drenched backyard presents a rare canvas with significant potential for custom landscaping or a private outdoor entertaining space.
This highly sought after Outer Richmond home is just moments from Ocean Beach, the Beach Chalet, Sutro Heights, and Golden Gate Park. This property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a classic home that is San Francisco living at its finest.

Neighborhood
Ocean air, park life, and real neighborhood vibes — that’s Outer Richmond. You’re steps from Lands End and Ocean Beach, plus Golden Gate Park’s car-free JFK Promenade — now a permanent, people-first route for walkers and cyclists.
Getting out and about and experiencing Outer Richmond is easy: hike the Sutro Baths/Lands End trails, then pop into the Lands End Lookout for interesting exhibits, gorgeous views, and yummy snacks. Golden Gate Park’s big annual draws — Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and Outside Lands — are right next door. Balboa Street is a low-key dining hotspot, anchored by Simple Pleasures and La Promenade and energized by new bars, bakeries, and boba shops. For those wanting to enjoy a stroll, Ocean Beach is gorgeous but windy — perfect for long walks and for watching surfers brave the chilly waves. The Cliff House remains closed due to extensive repairs, but the overlooks and trails remain open.
As far as transportation goes, the 38/38R Geary, 31 Balboa, and 5/5R Fulton connect the neighborhood to downtown, with service tweaks in 2025 improving reliability.
The bottom line: Outer Richmond is a wonderful place to call home, and its coastal trails, park access, and practical transit make it an easygoing corner of SF where weekend adventures start right outside your front door.
