2912 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94109

Highlights

Renovated Russian Hill Home Plus Legal Unit

The Building

2912 Van Ness Avenue is a special offering. Built in the early 1900s and extensively renovated in recent years, the residence consists of an upper unit that flows like a single family home plus a legal garden apartment, a flat yard, plenty of storage, and a spacious three-car garage. The upper unit is a three bedroom plus den, two and a half bathroom fully detached home. The lower unit is a spacious, one bedroom, one bathroom garden apartment. The property functions well as a duplex or as a single family home plus legal apartment.

The building is located north of Lombard Street, on the eastern side of the street between Chestnut and Francisco, at the cross section of Russian Hill, Cow Hollow and the Marina. Near Ghirardelli Square, the Marina, and the Polk, Chestnut, and Union Street shopping districts, you’ll love this home for its combination of classic San Francisco style and contemporary amenities.

The back garden is enhanced by mature plantings including fragrant jasmine and lush ferns, a sunny brick patio, and a gardener’s breezeway. The story goes that the bricks were taken from the original building during the renovation as a way to “preserve” the history of this classic San Francisco building.

The three-car garage (two independent and one tandem) has interior access from the common entry. There is also a separate room that is perfect for storage or even as a home gym.

The Upper Residence

Entering 2912 Van Ness Avenue via a formal entryway, you will find a large den or media room with a decorative fireplace, vintage built-ins, and copious windows. The stairway to the first floor living spaces is lit by a window and a skylight and takes you to the main living areas, including a contemporary cooks’ kitchen with direct access to the deck and rear garden.

The kitchen has large, double hung windows with transoms above, a separate wet bar, two pantries, stainless steel appliances including a Bosch oven, Bosch dishwasher, and KitchenAid refrigerator, sleek open shelving, granite countertops, and hardwood floors. Next to this light-filled kitchen you will find an open living and dining area with windows on two sides, a linen closet, and a discreet half bath.

The sunny second floor houses three bedrooms on the same level, including one with a skylight, a large closet with custom built-ins, and direct access to the back garden. The second bedroom has windows on two sides, a closet with custom built-ins, and views of the back garden, while the second floor bathroom has a skylight, carrara marble countertops, and a shower over a tub.

The separated master suite has windows on three sides along with skylights and custom closets, and an en suite bathroom with a separate shower and spa tub, dual sinks, dual medicine cabinets, and a skylight. Also on the second floor, you will find an in-unit laundry area with a washer and a dryer and custom built-ins.

The Garden Apartment

Back on the main level, there is an additional laundry area and entrance to the one bedroom, one bathroom garden apartment. This updated, move-in ready unit features high ceilings, hardwood floors, a bathroom with a shower over a tub, a bedroom with two closets, a window, and built-in wall sconces, and an open living, dining, and kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and enough space for a home office along with a direct access to the garden via French doors.
