With a prime location, this delightful home offers ample space for living, working, gardening, and relaxing and entertaining in comfort.
The home’s main level features a generous and bright living room and adjacent separate dining room. These connected spaces feature custom decorative wood shoji screen window coverings and large newer windows offering hillside views and ample light. Providing ideal flow for entertaining, the dining room leads directly into the well-appointed kitchen. This bright workspace features newer stainless steel appliances, including a Viking stove, granite counters and plenty of storage, sleek tilework, breakfast bar, wood cabinets, a skylight, and a window looking out to the home’s front entry staircase.
At the back of the house overlooking the garden are two well-proportioned bedrooms with windows offering Mt. Davidson views. One bedroom is ensuite and includes a spacious closet leading into a full tiled bathroom with a large soaking tub, separate double-headed shower, vanity, and a door to the hallway for guest access. A convenient hall closet near the home’s entryway completes this level.
An internal stairway leads to the lower level and the third ensuite bedroom, which offers flexibility as a family room or a large home office. Crisply painted and punctuated by beam ceilings, this peaceful retreat features handsome built-in storage and bookcases plus a full bathroom with a shower and built-in cabinet. Providing optimal indoor-outdoor flow, French doors open from this space directly to a wooden deck and a tranquil garden. Featuring tiered paved patios, the garden offers expansive hillside views and an ideal space for quiet afternoons and evening gatherings. Bordering the patios are planting areas and raised beds with decorative greenery, providing plenty of space for gardening enthusiasts to enjoy.
Doors from the garden and the lower level bedroom lead into the garage, which includes two-car tandem parking, laundry, generous storage space and cabinets, and a workbench. Another door conveniently provides interior access to the home’s tunnel entry.
Inside and out, the home boasts an array of distinctive design elements inspired by the streamlined art deco aesthetic. Notched doorways, metal balconies, tile work, parquet floors, and the home’s uniquely painted facade echo the linear deco influences from the late 1930’s when the home was originally built.
Located in peaceful Miraloma Park, this appealing home is around the corner from Sunnyside Playground, and close to Glen Canyon Park, shops, grocery stores, restaurants, and amenities, with Glen Park BART, public transit and freeway onramps nearby. With a generous and flexible floor plan, beautiful outdoor living space, and an ideal location, this turnkey home is a delightful haven in the City.
Neighborhood
Perched along the eastern face of Mount Davidson, Miraloma Park boasts beautiful views and homes in a wide variety of architectural styles. Most of the neighborhood's homes were conceived as a single development constructed prior to WWII. Today, it is home to families of all ages and backgrounds. Mount Davidson is the highest hill in San Francisco and offers an abundance of invigorating walks with surprising views around every bend. Miraloma Park's proximity to Glen Canyon makes it an ideal destination for those who thrive on nature but can't always get out of the city. When it's time to venture back indoors, residents convene along the small commercial strip on Portola that serves the area. Here you'll find high-end groceries, coffee shops and bakeries, as well as basic services like a drugstore and gas station. While nights are quiet, many residents delight in the dining options afforded in nearby Glen Park and West Portal. Miraloma Park is home to a classic clubhouse built around 1940 and operated by the Miraloma Park Improvement Club. It hosts many private events as well as an annual holiday bazaar, just one of many events that encourage neighbors to get together.
