Welcome to a top-floor Victorian retreat where vintage craftsmanship meets one of San Francisco’s most coveted walkable lifestyles. Set in an intimate two-unit Victorian building at the seam of Haight-Ashbury and Cole Valley, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo spans 1,428 sq. ft. (per tax records) with a flexible floor plan, soaring 11-foot ceilings, and a Walker’s Paradise location (Walk Score 97) that puts celebrated restaurants, cafes, bars, and Golden Gate Park essentially at your doorstep. With CC&Rs granting rights to develop the attic and add a rooftop deck (buyer to verify city permitting requirements and CC&R details), there is meaningful upside potential.

Step inside to grand-scale proportions and the period character original to homes of this era. Eleven-foot ceilings amplify every room, framing oversized windows that pour natural light through a flexible layout. Original period details remain beautifully intact, from the intricate trim work to the ornate ceiling medallions, while thoughtful updates to fixtures and finishes deliver a graceful blend of old-world charm and modern convenience. Hardwood floors flow throughout the living areas, with tile in the kitchen and bath. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with refreshed appliances, an upgraded countertop and backsplash, fresh paint, and curated light fixtures, complemented by upgraded lighting throughout. Two well-proportioned bedrooms and a full bath complete the floor, with a shared backyard offering an outdoor extension below. The foundation was updated in 2010, anchoring the home’s Victorian character with modern peace of mind. A private garage paired with a driveway delivers a parking combination almost unheard of in this stretch of the city.

Step out the door and the city unfolds. Haight Street’s iconic shops, music venues, and dining (anchored by Amoeba Music) sit just up the hill, while the Cole and Carl commercial corridor delivers Zazie’s legendary brunch, Woods and Lovely’s smashburgers, InoVino’s biodynamic wines, Beit Rima, Finnegans Wake, Say Cheese, and Wooden Coffee House. Golden Gate Park, Buena Vista Park, Tank Hill, and the Panhandle ring the neighborhood with green space, and the N-Judah MUNI delivers a direct ride to downtown and Caltrain.

About the Neighborhood

Living in the Haight means being superbly situated in the heart of San Francisco. A block away, Buena Vista Park is 36-acres of showstopping city views and hilly trails. Across the street, the Panhandle serves up running paths, pickup basketball and leash-free dog play and leads to diversion-packed Golden Gate Park. Haight Street’s span offers dining, shopping and Whole Foods while Divisadero Street’s many restaurants include burgers, tapas, and pizza. Haight-Ashbury’s colorful architecture, boldly nostalgic shops, and eclectic (and most likely organic) cafes and restaurants exude a magnetism that draws many to the neighborhood. It’s also known for its urban hippies and vintage enthusiasts. Commuting on Highway 101 via Octavia Street’s on-ramp is a breeze or head north on 19th Street through Golden Gate Park to get to Marin. Conveniently, tech shuttles pick up at Haight Street and Divisadero. For an in-city commute, the N-Muni a couple blocks away whizzes commuters into the Financial District. Make new memories in this memorable neighborhood.

"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."
