Description:

This wonderfully charming and light-filled Victorian flat is delightfully situated on quiet, one-way, Downey Street in Cole Valley, just a few blocks from the shops of both Cole and Haight Streets and tech shuttle stops. Positioned at a slight bend on the road, the residence is granted the rare benefit of an extraordinarily unique and beautiful, full-length side yard, on a tapered double width lot, for its owners exclusive use. Exuding both old world charm and new world functionality, the home features high ceilings, period details, beautiful hardwood floors and an open plan kitchen connected to a gracious dining/entertaining room complete with serving bar and wine chiller. The southern length of the home is washed in light from an array of windows facing the landscaped yard, bringing the outdoors visually within. While the front parlor and living room bring the charm of Downey street inside from elongated Victorian window lines. The yard and planted gardens cascade downward on a pleasant slope, providing areas for dining, entertaining, gardening or plenty of room for children and pets to play. The enchanting master bedroom enjoys garden outlooks while the double parlor serves as a sizable 2nd bedroom with garden views as well, all behind sliding pocket doors. Down the hall the office/den is nicely situated for a bit of privacy for study or relaxing or can serve as a child’s room alongside the discreet but ample powder room and gracious master bath. Rounding out the home, a modern, open garage offers one car independent parking, additional storage and easy access to the side trades entrance. Close to Golden Gate Park, Haight Street, Cole Valley restaurants and retail and several tech company shuttles, this home is delightfully situated.
