A skylight and floor-to-ceiling hallway window bring in natural light, while a large attic provides ample storage and functionality. The lush, magical backyard features raised garden beds, native and drought-tolerant landscaping, fruiting fig and passion fruit, and a new redwood staircase. A finished shed with power offers flexible space for a work-from-home office or studio, while the property offers future expansion potential. A new roof and skylight were added in 2024. Boasting a 91 Walk Score, this prime Bernal Heights location is just two blocks from Cortland Avenue and moments from beloved restaurants, cafs, shops, and parks.
