Bernal Heights
Stepping up to 187 Elsie Street, you’re greeted by the classic proportions and high ceilings of a 1900 Victorian. The home introduces its distinct character immediately at the entryway, where striking vintage finials anchor the staircase. Inside, the spaces are defined by a mix of historical detail and artistic touches, highlighted by a stained-glass window sourced from a local estate sale and a retractable electric ladder that opens to a fully insulated attic that was used as a hobby room.
The main living spaces flow naturally toward the back of the home, where one of the home’s 2 bedrooms open directly to a private, fragrant and sun-drenched rear yard with built-in seating and a firepit. For those with a vision for the future, the home offers a rare advantage: it sits outside the strict historical district boundaries, providing a remarkably flexible canvas for future renovations, modern upgrades, or an expansion.
The location delivers the absolute best of Bernal Heights. You are just one block from the vibrant main drag of Cortland Avenue, putting neighborhood favorite shops and restaurants right at your doorstep. Two blocks up, the scenic trails and panoramic city views of Bernal Heights Park await. With iconic views of Twin Peaks from the house and easy transit access nearby, this property offers an exceptional, walkable lifestyle in one of the city's most distinct micro-neighborhoods.
