There is an immediate ease to this home - warm, inviting, and full of character, with a Mediterranean sensibility expressed through its clay tile roof and lush landscaping. The main level has been thoughtfuly opened for the way we live today. Living, dining, and kitchen flow naturally together, anchored by a beautifully remodeled kitchen and an oversized center island with generous seating - a space that feels equally right for everyday life or a house full of friends. The two bedrooms on the main level are notably generous in scale, with good natural light and ample closet space with custom built-ins. The lower level is reserved for the primary bedroom and an adjoining seating area that functions equally well as a home office. From here, doors open directly to a large, beautifully designed garden, creating an easy connection between indoors and out. There is ample room for entertaining, play, and even a vegetable garden. Set within the Lake Street corridor, one of San Francisco's most desirable and enduring neighborhoods, the home is loved for its walkability and proximity to China Beach, Baker Beach, and neighborhood favorites including Pearl, Pizzetta 211, Angelina's Deli, and the soon-to-open Bi Rite. A large garage accommodates two-car parking along with abundant storage. Fully entitled renovation plans are available and will transfer with the property, offering the opportunity to expand in the future. Just as importantly, the home can be enjoyed beautifully as it is today. A truly sweet home: move-in ready, thoughtfully updated, and exceptionally well located.
