About This Home
Stylish and contemporary Bernal Heights condominium with an open floor plan and great details, including hardwood floors, high ceilings, crown moldings, double-paned windows, recessed lighting and radiant heat throughout. Built in 2004, this residence features modern infrastructure and systems paired with a thoughtfully-designed layout. The two sunny south-facing bedrooms are peacefully located at the back of the unit; the primary suite includes double closets and a full ensuite bathroom with double sinks and natural stone; a second full bathroom is available for guests. Both bedrooms open to an exclusive use deck leading to a deep shared garden with great southern exposure, home to brilliant Bougainvillea and a lemon tree and other lush vegetation (this property enjoys a far deeper parcel than most homes in Bernal). The open concept kitchen, dining, and living area is anchored by a gas-burning fireplace and a comfy window seat. The kitchen has granite counters, stainless appliances, a 4-burner gas stove and generous cabinetry. The massive garage, with extensive poured concrete, is in a different league than most of the surrounding older homes, and the unit enjoys two-car parking (tandem with yourself) that's independently accessible from the street, plus exclusive use of a washer/dryer and dedicated storage. Situated right on the border of Bernal Heights and Glen Park, the home is convenient to Glen Park Village, BART, Cortland shopping, and the many vibrant restaurants and cafes on Mission Street, with easy access to both 101 and 280 for commuting to the Peninsula or downtown. It's also on a flat block, which is unusual for Bernal Heights, making it easy to walk to everything!

Explore the Neighborhood
80-A Richland sits at the nexus of 4 great neighborhoods - Bernal, Glen Park, Noe Valley and the Mission. It has the unique advantage of being within walking distance to Glen Park Bart Station while also being just a short walk to Bernal's bustling Cortland Street hub, and all the restaurants and eateries on Mission Street. It’s also close to Upper Noe’s 30th Street Rec Center, playground and Dog-Run, the Church Street produce market, J-train and chic Outer Noe eateries such as La Ciccia.
The area we now call Bernal Heights was once the site of humble dairies and grazing pastures. It has come a long way, from these pastoral beginnings to “America’s #1 hottest neighborhood” (per Redfin, in 2014). What’s all the fuss about?
In part, Bernal owes its appeal to its sunny microclimate, which is one of the city’s warmest. When other parts of the city are shrouded in fog, you can expect blue skies in Bernal -- you’ll never want to leave.
The hub of Bernal’s community is Cortland Ave, an eclectic and always fun strip of cool cafes, fine restaurants, an art gallery, an organic grocery store, a bookshop, and countless other attractions. No national franchise chains here! It’s down-home cozy and authentic, a true urban village, with plenty to keep you busy all year round without ever having to leave the nabe.
Craving a craft beer? The Bare Bottle Brewery, with its gourmet food-truck fare and indoor communal dining tables, is right down the block. Gourmet coffee? World class organic bakery? Cocktail bar? Lesbian bar? Live music? Epicurian deli? Intimate gem of a bistro? One-of-a-kind boutiques? An electric bicycle shop? Basketball and tennis courts? Bernal has it all. Consider meeting friends at Wild Side’s West’s magical art-garden or enjoy a cup of brew at Pinhole Coffee. The possibilities are endless. As you stroll up and down Cortland, you’ll enjoy the feeling that you’re in a progressive melting pot where folks of every ethnicity, orientation, and national origin are made to feel welcome. It’s a very special vibe.
A description of Bernal would not be complete without mentioning its amazing parks. Bernal Hill at the crest of the neighborhood offers some of the finest views in the entire Bay Area. Your canine companions will beg you for playdates with their friends on the hill and you can easily spend an afternoon hiking around the circumference and taking in the fresh air and vistas. And it's a great place to watch the fireworks on July 4th! Holly Park and Precita Park are unique, beautifully-landscaped neighborhood parks where you’ll find lots of neighborhood kids. There are also several well-equipped playgrounds, rec centers with indoor and outdoor courts, as well as a beautiful public library with separate kids’ floor.
Alemany Farmers Market, at the southern foot of the Hill, is the city’s largest outdoor market and is open on Saturdays, while a vibrant flea market takes its place on Sundays. Want a little action? Get your groove on at the outdoor dance floor and enjoy live music on Sundays at El Rio. Hungry? Sample an amazing smorgasbord of cuisine from around the globe -- traditional Mexican homestyle cooking, BBQ ribs and brisket, El Buen Comer, Balompie (best Salvadorian chicken soup and papusas in town), Emmy's Spaghetti Shack, The Blue Plate, the Front Porch etc (all steps away on Mission) are just a sampling of what’s available nearby. In Glen Park, which lies a short walk from 80-A Richland, you will find the area’s best gourmet grocery store (Gus’s / Canyon Market) along with many coffee shops and other restaurants.
There are multiple MUNI connections nearby - the J-Church Metro takes you through Noe Valley and past Dolores Park, into the Castro and underground all the way to Embarcadero. The Glen Park BART station gets you to downtown or the East Bay in minutes, and there are also nearby buses that will get you everywhere you need to be. Whether you are driving to downtown or to the Airport / South Bay, access to 101 and 280 is nearby, making for an especially easy commute. This is a particularly friendly location in terms of quality public transportation and freeway access!
