Beautifully Designed. Exceptionally Equipped.

Design-Driven. Technology-Rich. Distinctly San Francisco.
Behind its classic Victorian façade, 253 San Carlos Street reveals an extraordinary transformation; a meticulously remodeled, design-forward residence where timeless architectural character meets sophisticated modern luxury and an impressive investment in the home's infrastructure and technology.

Beautifully reimagined across two levels, this exceptional home is far more than a cosmetic renovation. Wide-plank oak floors, rich walnut cabinetry, sculptural designer lighting, luxurious Italian marble, beautifully appointed baths and carefully considered architectural details create a warm, cohesive aesthetic throughout. Behind the scenes, extensive investments in integrated smart-home technology, enterprise-grade networking, solar power with battery storage and five-zone radiant heating bring an equally impressive level of sophistication to everyday living.

The gracious bay-windowed living room flows into an inviting dining area and striking chef's kitchen, featuring a Viking range, Miele speed oven, generous island and dedicated walnut wet bar. A luxurious main-level primary suite offers a sitting area, walk-in closet, beautifully appointed marble bath and private deck overlooking the garden.
Downstairs, a spacious media and family room opens through French doors to a spectacular private terraced garden, alongside two additional bedrooms, a dedicated office and beautifully finished full bath.

And then there's the garden: an extraordinary private retreat unfolding across multiple levels, with lush landscaping, striking board-formed concrete walls and inviting patios for dining, entertaining and relaxing. Thoughtful connections between the interior and outdoor spaces make the garden feel like a natural extension of the home.

Offering three bedrooms, two and a half baths and approximately 1,851 square feet of beautifully designed living space, 253 San Carlos represents a rare combination of architectural character, exceptional craftsmanship, technology-forward living and remarkable outdoor space.

All tucked behind a timeless Victorian façade, moments from Valencia Street, Dolores Park and the best of the Mission. 

Current owners have pre-paid for 1 year of leased parking ​at the Mission Bartlett Garage located at 3255 21st Street.

The Mission at your doorstep.

The Mission is one of San Francisco's most dynamic and culturally rich neighborhoods, celebrated for its exceptional dining scene, independent boutiques, colorful architecture and unmistakable creative energy. From 253 San Carlos Street, the vibrant Valencia Street corridor is just moments away, offering an incredible collection of acclaimed restaurants, artisan bakeries, specialty coffee shops, lively bars and one-of-a-kind boutiques.
The neighborhood's appeal extends well beyond its celebrated food scene. 

Tree-lined residential streets, historic Victorians, colorful murals and neighborhood parks create an eclectic mix of old San Francisco charm and contemporary urban living. Nearby Dolores Park offers sweeping city views, sunny lawns and a favorite gathering place for locals, while BART and convenient transit connections make getting around the city and Bay Area easy.

It's a neighborhood where nearly everything is within reach, yet tucked away on San Carlos Street, 253 offers the best of both worlds: the energy and excitement of the Mission just outside your door, and the tranquility of your own private garden retreat waiting at home.
