Holiday Evening Stroll in Bernal Heights Thursday, December 8, 2011

Holidays a la Bernal Heights Village

Wow! We are just shy of saying goodbye to 2011. I looked up from my plate of leftover cornbread stuffing and mashed potatoes last week and realized it’s that time of year again — that time when visions of hot cider, champagne, latkes, family/community, candy-cane shaped cookies covered with multicolored sprinkles, office Holiday parties and, of course, gifts, dance in my head. I can really feel the Holiday Spirit on my daily walk through the streets of Bernal with all of the sparkly lights, the window displays and the mad rush for “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas” (the original cartoon version) at Four Star (okay, maybe I am the only one searching high and low for that DVD but my obsession dedication has the power of many people).

Do you want to get into the Holiday Spirit, too ? Then kick off the Holiday Season with the Bernal Heights Holiday Evening Stroll on December 8th. It was such a success last year that they brought it back and it’s going to be bigger and brighter this time around! Join us up here on Cortland Avenue in Bernal Heights for a night of revelry, singing, dancing, wine tasting and strolling from 6:00 – 9:00 pm. Over 30 Bernal businesses will have their doors open that evening and they invite you to drop in, say hello and enjoy what our little village has to offer…and maybe you’ll buy something and for once you won’t be the last minute gift buyer you have proven yourself to be.

Truth be told, I’m a bah humbug sort of person, but there is no way I can channel Scrooge when the dogs and I are walking down Cortland Avenue on the night of the Bernal Heights Holiday Evening Stroll.

See you there !

We are super excited about our new listing for sale - 178 Prentiss Street San Francisco 94110, listed at $711,000 – Bernal Heights Home with Deck & Yard for Sale!

WANT PHOTOS? VISIT THE PROPERTY WEBSITE FOR THIS BRIGHT & OPEN BERNAL HEIGHTS HOME?

Located north of Cortland, away from the bustle yet walking distance to the charm & convenience of Cortland Ave and Bernal Heights Village (organic groceries, yoga, sushi, Italian, Peruvian, public library, bookstore, video store, bank, etc), 178 Prentiss Street is a bright & open single family home. Built in 1927, 178 Prentiss St features an open floor plan – perfect for entertaining and hanging out – with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom with shower over bathtub, hardwood floors, a remodeled kitchen with office nook, and a bonus room & ½ bath off of the garage. The garage has laundry, parking for 1 car and plenty of storage.

But what makes this house so unique and special is the direct access from the kitchen to the sunny deck and flat, landscaped yard. Soak up the sun, play with the pooch/kids/both/neither, host a BBQ, pour some Pinot, do a Downward Dog or just relax with a book. You’ll be sure to enjoy the indoor-outdoor living in your new home!

A NOTE FROM OUR SELLER:

Dear Prospective Buyer,

We have thoroughly enjoyed living in this home in this community of Bernal Heights for the past nine years.  As far as the house itself goes, we love the openness of the floor plan, the wood floors throughout, and the way the yard feels like an extension of the house.   On many days, we have simply opened our French doors and sat out on the deck to enjoy the sunshine and privacy of the backyard.  We have also appreciated the quietness of the street itself and the easy off-street parking!

Living in Bernal Heights has been absolutely wonderful for our family.  Our two children have enjoyed the parks, library and family events of the community like Fiesta on the Hill and the annual Hill wide Garage Sale.  Our family has also enjoyed our many walks around Bernal Hill where we take in 360-degree views of the city.  You also can’t beat the shops and restaurants on Cortland Avenue. Within walking distance you can enjoy great pastries at the Sandbox Bakery, strong coffee at Martha Brothers, exotic sushi at Moki’s and delectable brunch at Liberty Café, just to name a few of our favorites!   With more new businesses opening their doors, it is also fun to explore the many new shops and restaurants in the area.

Finally, the best part about living on Prentiss is the community.  We have caring and wonderful neighbors that have made living in Bernal meaningful to our family.  We move away with life-long friends and many warm memories of our time here.

Simply stated, we have loved living in this home and being part of the Bernal community!

$699,559 – 225 Bosworth St @ Cuvier – Gracious Bernal Heights Home for Sale in San Francisco!

225 Bosworth Street — Single Family Home

FIRST SUNDAY OPEN HOUSE — Sunday, October 16th, 2:00-4:00PM

Brokers’ Tour — Tuesday, October 18th, 2:00-3:30PM

We are super excited about our new listing for sale - 225 Bosworth Street San Francisco 94112, listed at $699,559 – Bernal Heights Home with Deck & Yard for Sale!

WANT PHOTOS? VISIT THE PROPERTY WEBSITE FOR THIS GRACIOUS BERNAL HEIGHTS HOME.

Built in 1917, 225 Bosworth St is a large, detailed Bernal Heights home on the border of Glen Park. Walk up the front stairs to a lovely covered porch. The formal entry way leads to a large formal living room with a fireplace, coved ceilings and attractive stained glass window detailing. Continue on to a grand formal dining room with built-in cabinets & detailed wainscoting. Off of the dining room is a spacious kitchen with a built in office area that opens directly onto the sunny, south-facing deck and backyard. A half-bath completes this level.

…All of this and we haven’t yet gone upstairs (or down!)

Upstairs, you’ll find two good-sized bedrooms, one with a sun room, and one bathroom with shower over bathtub. Both bedrooms enjoy two big closets and lots of light. Walk downstairs to find a clean, open area- great for storage, an art room, a second office, etc. The third bedroom and second full bath is perfect for a teenager, guest, in-law or roommate. Completing this fabulous home is a huge, flat yard with a patio, a washer & dryer and a one car garage with plenty of storage space!

The location is super convenient for walking, biking, public transit, and driving with access to Bernal Heights, Glen Park Village (BART, freeways, cute shops & restaurants), Southern Noe Valley & the Mission.

A NOTE FROM OUR SELLER:

Dear Prospective Buyer,

This has been a great home for 34 ½ years. There have been many holiday and birthday celebrations, baptismal parties, book signings, bridal showers, etc. The special events are in addition to joyful everyday living. This has also been a wonderful place for children: the big yard, fireworks viewed from the back windows, an exciting street scene viewed from the living room windows, the carpeted stairs to learn stair climbing, etc. For a gardener, the backyard has an ideal amount of sun and shade.

Glen Park is a welcoming neighborhood. BART is just 4 blocks away. There are at least 5 MUNI lines within walking distance and one line’s bus stop is at Bosworth and Milton. Canyon Market, Le Petit Laurent, La Corneta and several other restaurants are within a short walk in “Downtown” Glen Park. The Sunday Farmers’ Market in the BART parking lot has been a huge success.

An unusual benefit of this location is the proximity of the airport; BART is an easy commute and the airport shuttles pick you up last and drop you off first. Amazingly, plane noise is not a problem.

As a structure, this house is very strong and dependable. I have maintained the house with repairs before they were necessary. I have remodeled the kitchen (most recently in 2001), powder room and upstairs bathroom. I have replaced plaster and lath with sheetrock when possible. There is insulation in the attic and in every wall that has been opened for remodeling. In 2003, the back of the house was rebuilt with a new foundation, the firewall was added and the downstairs room and bath were added (all with
permits.) The deck was completed in 2009 (with permits.) Because this has been my home, I used higher quality materials: imported ceramic tiles, Carrera
marble tiles in the shower, top grade paints, custom built cabinets, Anderson double-paned windows with the flip cleaning feature, Trex and top grade redwood
for the deck, etc.

One of the features I enjoy most is the tremendous water pressure. The washer, the dishwasher and a shower can run at the same time without temperature or pressure variations.

Storage is another feature of this house. The attic, the garage, the built-in breakfront, the hidden closet, the shelving, the kitchen cabinets, the giant bedroom closets and even the phone cabinet in the front hall provide endless opportunities for organizing your belongings.

I do love this house, but it is time for new adventures in my life. I am looking forward to life in San Luis Obispo. There will still be holiday celebrations and lots of visitors; just in a different place.

-Meg

A NOTE FROM OUR SELLERS:

DearProspective Buyer,

This home has been a special place for us for the past 7+ years. We have put a lot of work and love into it. Just before sitting to write this note, we spent the afternoon in the backyard with our neighbors reminiscing… Here are a few things we recounted:

This house is part of a wonderful community. In the units behind us you have two sets of young, considerate and friendly folks. We’ve spent time in the garden barbequing and enjoying the warm Mission Dolores weather. The co-owners – Mark, Matt and Jennifer – are responsible and wonderful people with whom we consider ourselves
lucky to have co-owned a TIC. You hear so many stories to the contrary. We all started as strangers and now consider each other friends. There are many other neighbors on the block that we have gotten to know and who keep an eye out for each other, which makes this neighborhood feel warm, friendly and even safer than your average urban city block. When you’re in the front yard working on the tree plants or sweeping the street, people stop and thank you for adding beauty to the neighborhood.

We can’t say enough about the location, location, location! Where to begin? You are within a few steps of a culinary mecca. We go to Mission Beach Café almost every morning (the others are spent at Four Barrel Coffee) where the coffee and pastries are to die for and you feel a real sense of welcome when you’re greeted by name. The walkability of healthy grocery shopping is also key. Within four blocks you have: Rainbow Grocery, Golden Produce (a small private organic grocer by Safeway) and Bi-Rite.  Whole Foods is supposed to be going in a block and a half away. The list of restaurants we’ve enjoyed is too long to write, but Chow, Delfina, Loconda …the list really goes on and on.

This neighborhood if vibrant and full of activities; Dolores Park gives us sun, tennis, music, movies and there’s a nice little farmers market a few blocks up in the Castro on Wednesday evenings during Summer. Enjoy ‘Sunday Streets’ on Valencia and the Carnival as well.  The access to BART and Muni has made the entire city easily accessible and I’m afraid we’ve been spoiled.

Dear Prospective Buyers,

Welcome to 785 Dolores!  This lovely home turned 100 years old on August 16, 2011.

We are proud to have been caretakers of such a piece of San Francisco History for the past seven years.  Like the city itself, 785 Dolores is timeless. You can see the craftsmanship in every detail, down to the doorknobs.

The house speaks for itself and as for location, 785 Dolores is in the center of it all.  We loved being able to walk to 24th Street on Saturday mornings for the Farmers Market and then head down to Bartlett and 22nd for the Mission Community Market on Thursday evenings. From Bi-Rite and Tartine, to Fresca and Foreign Cinema, our time at 785 Dolores was filled with the food and shops that make San Francisco great.

The central location cannot be overstated. Look at a map of San Francisco and the house is almost exactly in the center.  The condo is half a block from the J-Church line with quick and easy access downtown, a quick walk to BART (at either 16th or 24th street) and is close to all of the shuttle pick-ups for shuttles down south – Google, Apple and Zynga just to name a few.  It is easy to live here without a car, with public transit on all directions and access to downtown in 10 minutes.

Our neighborhood is a community filled with interesting neighbors that we are lucky enough to call our friends.  From fine dining to street food, bar hopping to a quiet place in the sun to relax, 785 Dolores has it all.

We wish you luck in your search and hope that you soon find a house like 785 Dolores that you can call home.

Best,

Joshua, Lennlee & Dash Keep”

A NOTE FROM OUR SELLERS:

“To those looking for a wonderful home:

Five years ago, we were ecstatic to find such a beautifully finished, newly constructed home in the heart of our favorite sunny neighborhood in San Francisco.  Two kids later, it is now time for us to find a bigger space.  We leave with a heavy heart because 1311 Guerrero is by far our favorite place we have ever lived, and are sad to be moving.

Living in new construction in an old city is a fantastic treat.  Everything works and the finishing touches are beautiful! The kitchen is the center of our universe so we absolutely loved having the open kitchen equipped with granite countertops and stainless appliances and the beautiful cherry cabinets.  The marble bathrooms are clean and beautiful, and it’s a comfort to know that the building meets the most modern structural safety guidelines and is equipped with a fire safety system.  Finally, having an in-unit elevator is absolutely priceless. Not once did we have to lug groceries, children, furniture, or grandparents up the stairs!

Our family believes in promoting sustainable living, so we loved the Bamboo eco-friendly floors and the incredible energy efficiency of the property.  We even installed Marmoleum floors in both bedrooms made from all natural materials to be easy to clean, asthma, and allergy friendly.  The kitchen cabinets are FSC-certified wood with low VOC content.

The location of our condo is absolutely perfect.  It’s officially in Noe Valley, and being nestled up against the Mission district allowed us to walk to amazing restaurants, cafes, parks, and cultural experiences in every direction!  Culinary delights like Papalote, Arizmendi Bakery, La Taqueria, and Pi Bar are literally around the corner.  Every Saturday, we bought produce at the farmers market on 24^th street.

The property is also a commuter’s dream.  The five-minute walk to BART means an incredibly quick commute downtown, and its proximity to both the 101 and 280 freeways means an amazingly fast departure down to the peninsula for work or play.

We hope you, as the next owner, appreciate and love our home as much as we did!

- Amy, Doug, Jack & Ben”
