Shining Like a Beacon – Just Right Bright House Awaits!

Imagine you could have everything you wanted in a beach house – the perfect location close (but not too close) to the beach and to Golden Gate Park, steps from shopping and transit, a quick zip to commute routes south, a warm walk out garden, stellar condition, a great floor plan plus room for expansion?  You can!  Lovingly remodeled a few years ago with new systems and finishes, this home’s bright and carefully coordinated décor will warm you up and invite you to stay.  From the front entry with its original telephone seat, through the spacious barrel fronted living room with its cozy fireplace, you can see through French doors to the large open dining room/kitchen and finally through another set of French doors to the sheltered rear garden. In the European styled kitchen, you will be inspired to create by the view of the herbs growing on the deck and the open comfortable space itself.  The bedrooms on the north side of the house are spacious and well-separated by the remodeled bath, which invites you to consider the year spent choosing each tile in the bath separately to tell a story that goes from the bottom of the ocean to the skies far above.  Accessed via stairs from the kitchen, the lower level has been polished to enhance its utility for now as a family project or relaxation space and to show potential to build rooms or an ADU in the future.  Plenty of space surf boards, bikes and other sports equipment as well as indoor play space in times of inclement weather.  The garden can be accessed from both levels and enjoyed year-round.  The positioning shelters it from the coastal breezes and makes it the perfect growing environment for even plants that require a fair amount of warmth like citrus and that most elusive SF garden plant – the tomato.

And back to the location!  The Outer Sunset is bordered by Golden Gate Park and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area’s Ocean Beach, there is plenty of room to stretch your legs, surf, bike and meet up with friends.  And it still feels like city living with excellent dining at the Sunset Cantina, Toyose, The Pizza Place, Celia’s by the Beach, & Underdogs Too; coffee at Andytown or Java Beach; Hook Fish Company, Devil’s Teeth; fine wines and snacks at Palm City; and convenient gourmet shopping at at The Other Avenues or Gus’s Market.   1644 44^th is just the right distance from the beach (out of the rust and wind zone) and the Park; just ½ block from Outer Judah; and 3 blocks from Outer Noriega.  It is in the best location to take advantage of the convenient delights the neighborhood has to offer!
