At the nexus of three of San Francisco's most beloved neighborhoods: Noe Valley, Castro and Dolores Heights, and walking/biking distance to the center of each - or take Muni line 24 (which runs one block away, 24/7), or drive to & from your dedicated side-by-side garage space. Unit #1 is the only apartment in this mid-century building that includes a PRIVATE outdoor space, which consists of almost 500 square feet of perfectly level hardwood & porcelain tiles. Being immediately adjacent to the living area, the patio adds 70% more usable space for barbecuing, entertaining, dining al fresco, or warming up around the fire pit. Note that 220v wiring has been installed outside for your electric heaters, barbecue, etc. The interior layout has been enhanced by an added doorway between the kitchen & living room, allowing 360 circulation. Every room has original hardwood or beautiful new tile flooring. The bedroom, which is adjacent to a quiet block of Noe Street between 21st & Hill Streets, has Venetian blinds & room-darkening draperies. A mini-split (heat-pump'') HVAC system with two air handlers, installed in 2023, maintains the unit at exactly the temperature you like - virtually silently. Similarly, on-demand water heaters mean there's no waiting to shower. In a bathroom alcove, you'll also find the 2022-model LG washer & dryer. The remodeled kitchen offers ample counter space, drawers and cabinets, and a full suite of nearly new Bertazzoni appliances (including gas range & oven). Luxurious and fully dimmable lighting emanates from the ceiling, two double sconces, and from under the cabinets. A well-considered and carefully updated home designed for optimal indoor-outdoor California living. Professionally managed 6-unit HOA with low monthly dues.
