Half a block from Dolores Park, on a tranquil, tree-lined stretch of 20th Street, this single-level, 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo is one of just two residences in the building. Built in 1955 and thoughtfully reconfigured in 2007 to create an open-concept living space, it offers an expansive landscaped yard, side-by-side garage parking, and a Walk Score of 98.

One flight up from the street, a dedicated entry foyer with coat closet opens into a living and dining room that flows as one cohesive space. A decorative fireplace and custom built-in shelving and cabinetry lend character to the space, while north-facing windows fill the home with soft, consistent natural light across the main living areas. Classic parquet floors run throughout the living areas, tying the spaces together.

The open-plan kitchen pairs quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large breakfast bar in a layout built for entertaining, so the cook always stays in the conversation. The full bath features both a separate shower and soaking tub. 

Both bedrooms are tucked away in the rear of the building, well removed from the street, with hardwood floors underfoot and peaceful views of the landscaped yard framed by mature lemon trees. One of the bedrooms enjoys direct access to the yard, creating a seamless connection to the outdoor space. 

The expansive shared backyard is one of the home’s standout features. Thoughtfully landscaped and surprisingly private, it offers generous space for outdoor dining, lounging, gardening, or simply enjoying the sunshine beneath mature lemon trees. All on a rare, flat lot with no stairs to navigate. 

Downstairs, the shared garage offers the convenience of city life: one-car side-by-side parking, an EV charging, a washer and dryer exclusively for the unit, and plenty of common area storage.

Anchored by the iconic Dolores Park, the neighborhood places the Mission District’s world-class dining, cafes, and boutiques just steps from your front door. Start your mornings at Tartine, pick up provisions at Bi-Rite Market, and satisfy your sweet tooth with Bi-Rite Creamery, Smitten, and Garden Creamery. Neighborhood favorites including Delfina and Pizzeria Delfina are just a few blocks away, with Lazy Bear, Foreign Cinema, and Ritual Coffee Roasters all within a 10-minute walk.  Valencia Street, with its vibrant mix of restaurants, shopping, and nightlife, is just 5 minutes away on foot. The J Church Muni line, located at the park’s southwest corner, is a 4-minute walk and provides easy access to downtown in approximately 15-20 minutes. The rest of the Bay is equally accessible via two nearby BART stations, at 16th St and 24th St, and US-101, I-280, and I-80 are all within a short drive, making any commute a breeze.

About the Neighborhood

Mission Dolores

 

Sunny, centrally located, with everyday conveniences and endless opportunities to explore, Mission Dolores has everything you could possibly ask for in a neighborhood. As San Francisco’s oldest neighborhood, it’s had plenty of time to perfect the formula. Families will appreciate top-rated public schools and grocery stores of every kind. If shopping’s your thing, browse some of the many independent boutiques and well-known retailers along the always-vibrant Valencia Street. In the mood for a bit of nature? Dolores Park is one of the city’s largest and most beloved parks. Foodies will appreciate world-famous eats, or enjoy a stroll down tree-lined Church Street. To the north, the Castro offers lively nightlife options, and there’s always something happening in nearby Mission, known for its rich culture and creative energy. Best of all, if you ever do decide to leave this happy little enclave, it’s an easy trip via BART, MUNI, or 101, or a lovely bike ride along the “Wiggle”.
