Take a Virtual Tour

Meticulously restored 3 BD, 2 BA Italianate Victorian (~1,955 sq ft per graphic artist), fully detached on one side for additional light and views, on a tree-lined block in Noe Valley. Its hand-painted facade with gold-leaf detail sets the tone for a rich collection of 1900-era craftsmanship: ornate crown molding, beadboard wainscoting, three distinct ceiling treatments, and original built-ins. A sunlit living room with soaring 11′ ceilings, an original Victorian fireplace, and Bernal Hill views opens onto a 15′ vaulted dining room with twin skylights. Beyond, the chef’s kitchen by Martinkovic Milford features Ann Sacks tile, quartz counters, a Viking range, a built-in Thermador fridge, and a Brazilian teak ceiling, opening directly to a south-facing deck above the lush garden. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete this level. Downstairs, the primary suite offers a walk-through closet, office/gym flex space, and a spa-like bath with heated floors and dual vanity, opening to a GROW Design Build garden with custom pergola, built-in benches, and four lounging areas. Interior access to a spacious 1-car garage with Tesla Powerwall completes the home. Walk Score 92, walking distance to 24th Street, easy access to Glen Park BART, I-280, US-101, and SFO.

Holly Hirshfield & Alan Peterson

"Our initial consultation was one of the most memorable discussions we’ve had with someone in the business. She demonstrated through examples how creative, solutions-oriented and innovative her approach was; notably how her team adapted to the covid-19 environment through novel and personal marketing and attention to detail via virtual experiences. Other Realtors offered us a lower rate but we believe we got the quality and caliber we paid for."
N.O., Seller
"Ruth is a down-to-earth, friendly pit bull who represented us well and never let her guard down. She prepared us, protected us, and positioned us for what could not have been a more successful sale."
J.R., Seller
"In this very tough market, she got my family into a fantastic home. I was getting ready to walk away from the SF market altogether, because I just didn't think we could find what we wanted in a home at a price we could pay. Ruth is an absolute pro and helped us get the house we wanted. Ruth is a master real estate agent and the one you want in San Francisco."
H.H & A.P., Buyer
"In such a competitive market we needed an edge to get the home we wanted and we found that with Ruth and her team. She is down to earth, very personable and a master negotiator. She is honest, understanding, and not just out to make the sale."
R.M., Buyer
"Ruth was quick to assess our needs, the property needs, and the San Francisco market needs. She considered the property thoughtfully as she made recommendations for any renovations or work required. Her experience and knowledge as an interior designer is an asset. She creatively played with the space to increase its marketability and our home was beautifully displayed. We were pleased with the amount of offers and felt that Ruth's knowledge attributed to our success."
