First time on the market in decades - Inner Parkside Spanish-style corner home with abundant living space near West Portal. Built in 1931 during the early development of San Francisco's west side, this classic Spanish-style corner residence reflects a period when the area was still associated with the city's historic Outside Lands, giving it a character and architectural individuality that feels notably different from many homes built later in the neighborhood. Set on a light-filled corner, near the edge of West Portal and Golden Gate Heights, the home enjoys bright interiors, a prominent setting, and a gracious floor plan that offers both presence and flexibility. A formal entry introduces the main living level, where elegant arched doorways lead to a spacious living room with a gas-assist fireplace and and an enchanting dining, all adorned with traditional hardwood and parquet flooring which continues through the stairway and hall, reinforcing the timeless feel of this well-built home. The beautifully updated kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring an LG gas range, attractive tilework, a cheerful eat-in breakfast area and a wine refrigerator. A breezeway connecting the kitchen to the entry hall adds a distinctive architectural touch while enhancing circulation throughout the home. The upper level includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with two bedrooms offering en-suite baths, plus a balcony that captures a glimpse of the Pacific Ocean. At the ground level, an enclosed patio-garden with its own street entrance, creates a private outdoor retreat with a relaxed, lounge feel. The lower level adds substantial bonus space with a family room area, bedroom, and bath with shower, along with a laundry area, offering flexibility for guests, extended living, hobbies, or work-from-home needs. Pride of ownership is evident throughout, with the same owners caring for the property since 1991 and maintaining important systems over the years, including a newer water heater, electrical subpanel, and a furnace. Completing the home are a two-car garage and driveway parking for two additional vehicles. Just a few blocks away you'll find West Portal Village and the Taraval shopping corridor, offering easy access to neighborhood shops, dining, and daily conveniences. Nearby access to the L Taraval MUNI streetcar line adds everyday ease, while 19th Avenue provides a practical route for commuters.
