Welcome to a rare offering in prime Cole Valley: a generously scaled residence that truly lives like a house, set across multiple levels of a stately 1909 Edwardian on coveted, tree-lined Belvedere Street. Spanning 1,935 sq. ft. (per tax records) as one of just three units in the building, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home pairs sweeping western views with an open, light-filled floor plan and a ground-level primary suite with soaring 12.5-foot ceilings. Rich period character meets a design-forward 2023 renovation, and a Walk Score of 94 puts Cole Street’s restaurants and Golden Gate Park steps from the door.

A private single-door entry opens to interiors where original details appear at every turn: stained glass, coved 11-foot ceilings on the main level, wainscoting in the entry and hall, pocket doors with full-length mirrors, and restored built-ins. The formal living room is anchored by a box-beamed ceiling, a restored original built-in with custom cabinetry, and a decorative fireplace, with walls opened to the kitchen and dining room for an inviting flow. The extensively remodeled kitchen is a showpiece: a marble-topped peninsula keeps the cook in the conversation while taking in western views toward St. Ignatius, finished with marble countertops and backsplash, a Rohl unlacquered brass faucet, and Rejuvenation hardware.

Two main-level bedrooms are served by full baths, both remodeled in 2023 to a refined standard: marble tile and countertops, Rohl fixtures, RH vanities, custom showers, herringbone porcelain tile, and Toto toilets. One of the two is an en-suite, finished with heated floors. A versatile front room offers flexible use. The ground-level primary suite is a private walk-out retreat with its own full bath, custom built-out closets with Rejuvenation brass hardware, soaring 12.5-foot ceilings, and white oak floors.

The home opens to a shared, beautifully planted rear garden with a redwood deck, off the unit for an easy indoor-outdoor flow. A Nest thermostat, hardwired mesh wifi, electronic roller shades, and in-unit laundry hookups round out the systems. Outside the door, morning coffee and dinner along Cole Street (Zazie, Beit Rima, InoVino, Cole Valley Tavern), trails through the Mt. Sutro Open Space, and the green expanse of Golden Gate Park define daily life, with the N-Judah connecting you swiftly downtown.

About the Neighborhood

 

 

COLE VALLEY

 

Living in Cole Valley feels like living in a small town in the middle of a city. It is a family-friendly community with tree-shaded streets lined with well-kept Victorian homes, and a variety of mom-and-pop shops and relaxed restaurants with several nearby parks. We find because the average price point is around $3M for a home many residents put down roots there which creates a great community.

"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."
