The Perfect Home for Entertaining Indoors and Out
Since 1927, this has been a lovely home. It has been stewarded and updated and loved. Generous plantings and two street trees welcome you in front. As you enter, light streams in the barrel front Marina style living room windows – sometimes it may even be too bright! Then it might be nice to draw the drapes and cozy up by the fireplace (flanked by twin bookcases) before, and perhaps, after dinner in the adjacent formal dining room. A generous side patio integrates the outdoors with the upper level and is accessed from the dining room. The kitchen is the warm center of the home: made warmer with butcher block kitchen counters & farmhouse style pulls; and more elegant with Carrera subway tile backsplash. The breakfast bar provides a convenient place to feed a family member while doing kitchen chores or a great place to tuck a friend away while you cook. The upstairs split bath is remodeled with subway tile and spa accents. Two generously sized bedrooms with large closets overlook the garden at the rear of the home. Downstairs a large workshop and two car garage lead to a 3rd bedroom with original wood floors and a 2nd bath – perfect for guests, a home office, a family room or future direct connection to the upstairs living spaces.
The garden – while many Sunset gardens are overlooked, windswept spaces with little utility – this garden really makes outdoor living a reality and urban gardening a snap. Just a step up from the downstairs level, a spacious dining deck easily accommodates a table for 8 as well as a deep seating area. The middle section of the garden has a lush turf lawn surrounded by equally deluxe plantings. A step further up leads to a more down to business vegetable gardening space with two generously sized raised beds. The orientation shields the garden from wind while exposing it to a maximum of sunlight throughout the day. It is the perfect SF Sunset garden.
And if you get tired of hanging out at the homestead, it doesn’t hurt that the Central Sunset is one of the best places to live in San Francisco. 1634 22nd is walking distance to the Inner Noriega shopping district as well as vibrant Irving Street and the N Judah. From brunch at the Sunset Reservoir Brewing Company to taking in a game at The Taco Shop, to shopping for live fish at the Sunset Super or gourmet goods at Gus’s this is a diverse, vibrant neighborhood that will make you happy every day to live in San Francisco. The neighborhood also features easy access to Golden Gate Park and proximity to some of the best public schools in the City at all levels K to 12.
