About this home
Tucked behind a white picket fence on Bernal's coveted north slope, this storybook home delivers the full wish list 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, tranquil garden, and two levels of light-filled, view-framed living. Upstairs, the open great room is all about the outlook: corner view windows and sliding doors pull in a stunning City panorama from Sutro Tower to downtown, spilling onto a sunny balcony made for morning coffee. The remodeled kitchen white shaker cabinetry, dark stone counters, stainless appliances, and an island with seating flows to a skylit dining area with a built-in bar and wine fridge, all wrapped in gleaming fir floors. The huge primary suite is a true retreat: a bedroom that fits a king with room to lounge, a custom walk-in closet, a dual-vanity bath with oversized walk-in shower, and French doors opening to the garden deck. Two more sunny bedrooms with plantation shutters and a charming tiled second bath complete the picture. Out back, the deep 100-foot lot (approx. 25' x 100' per public record) is pure Bernal magic a beautifully mature, terraced garden with flagstone patio, fig tree, string lights, and a Japanese-style wooden soaking hot tub perched to soak in the view. Indoor/outdoor living at its most effortless. The garage adds newer laundry, ample custom storage, and parking. All of this moments from Precita Park, Cortland Avenue's shops and cafes, farmers' market Saturdays, and quick freeway and Muni access. Ideal location, ideal light, ideal life the best of Bernal Heights!

Peralta Heights, located between Bernal Heights Park and the Mission District, is a residential and hillside San Francisco neighborhood with steep streets and wide skyline views. The character concentrates around the Cortland Avenue corridor at Mission Street, where corner taquerias, produce markets, and small cafes set a steady, local rhythm. Mid-century and Edwardian homes line terraced blocks, with stairways and pocket gardens tucked into the slopes. Bernal Heights Park’s open trails and summit loop shape daily routines and the neighborhood’s horizon line. Community pillars include El Rio, the Alemany Farmers’ Market, and the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts.

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.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Agriculture
Day care facility
