Perched on the north slope of Bernal Heights' highly sought-after Ripley Street, this masterpiece reveals 270 views from each level of the home, from Twin Peaks to Downtown and the bay: from dawn's first morning light to breathtaking sunsets and a twinkling skyline after dark. A meticulously renovated Victorian home with 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, the floorplan is ideal for today's life. The great room, with a gas fireplace and gourmet kitchen featuring a waterfall island and high-end appliances, sets the stage for an intimate evening at home or a magical dinner party with friends. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a glass-enclosed sky deck showcase the views and blur the lines of indoor-outdoor living. Lush landscaping and a Zen-inspired central garden with a bubbling stone fountain are matched only by the home's proximity to Bernal Hill and its meandering trails just a block away. The home is easily accessible to the amenities of Precita Park, Cortland Street shops, and the Alemany Farmers Market and is a short 15-minute drive to SFO. Parking with EV charging and an amenities list checking all the boxes complete the home perfectly. Bernal's deep history with arts, cultural, and music scenes confluence to make this more than just a home. Where art and history meet home.

RH-2
Residential, House Districts, Two-Family District
These Districts are devoted to one-family and two-family houses, with the latter commonly consisting of two large flats, one occupied by the owner and the other available for rental. Structures are finely scaled and usually do not exceed 25 ft in width or 40 ft in height. Building styles are often more varied than in single-family areas, but certain streets and tracts are quite uniform. Considerable ground-level open space is available, and it frequently is private for each unit. The Districts may have easy access to shopping facilities and transit lines. In some cases, Group Housing and institutions are found in these areas, although nonresidential uses tend to be quite limited.
