DESCRIPTION
This handsome turn-of-the-century building on the west slope of coveted Russian Hill consists of two buildings, a pair of flats and a charming cottage, on a deep lot. Features include partial Bay and Golden Gate Bridge views, lush gardens between the buildings, classic interior details, plus garage and storage areas.
There may be expansion potential for both buildings. (In 2002, Seller obtained a variance to add upper level to the cottage.) This property is convenient to the shops, cafes, and neighborhood services of Polk, Union, and Hyde streets and has not been available in over 20 years – an excellent opportunity for just the right buyer.
