Property Description

Beautifully remodeled Bernal Heights home with gorgeous backyard and expansion potential. This adorable exterior complete with a wood picket fence belies an incredible, renovated modern home within, boasting sweeping city and Bay views. Enter through the private front yard and step into this inviting home. At the back is an open great room, with kitchen/living room/dining room facing stunning oversized windows displaying views to the East across the city and all the way to the Bay. 10’ ceilings on this level add to the light airy feel. The contemporary kitchen is equipped with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, a breakfast bar for informal dining, and stainless deluxe appliances. A door next to the kitchen leads to a stair directly to the backyard, and there is excellent pantry storage. A lovely living area enjoys the view along with a generous formal dining area.

On the main level are two sizeable bedrooms, both with built-in closet systems and western-facing windows. They share a chic windowed bathroom off the hallway with a quartz-topped vanity, Blum hardware, and a glass enclosed shower over tub, ensconced in porcelain tile.

A glass enclosed staircase with new hardwood flooring leads downstairs to an inviting family room, including a laundry closet with a washer dryer closet (side by side) as well as a wet bar with a sink and quartz countertops – perfect for entertaining. There is also a large storage room with a separate street entrance. Off the family room is a third bedroom, with a glass door opening to directly to the backyard, as well as an attractive bathroom with double vanity and shower over tub.

Directly from the family room, a glass door opens to a covered patio area, perfect for a BBQ, and a small set of stairs down to the lush backyard, with a huge lawn surrounded by landscaping.

This home was fully renovated in mid-2017 with all new plumbing and electrical, new retaining wall in front side of building, a high efficiency furnace, and a tankless water heater. At that time, a new foundation installed to accommodate the possible addition of a third story of living space on the attic level and a garage addition on the lower floor, if desired. Move in and enjoy as is or expand in the future!

Located on a quiet, adorable street with peaked roof Victorians, 225 Banks is just half a block to Cortland Street with fabulous shops and restaurants, and walkable to Bernal Heights Park. Street parking is generally easy, with quick access to 280 and 101. A beautiful residential enclave within the big city!
