What the Owners Love About 2126 18th St

1. The View

“The view is the soul of this home. It’s energizing and calming at once. Guests are always surprised by the scale and light. Conversations tend to linger as everyone’s eyes drift back to the skyline.”

2. The Street & Neighborhood Feel

“The block is one of Potrero Hill’s tranquil secrets. Just one house from a cul-de-sac, it’s flat and sees almost no through traffic. There’s always parking nearby. It’s the kind of street where kids ride bikes and pop over to see the neighbors. It’s a real neighborhood feel in the middle of the city.”

3. The Flow of the Home

“The home simply lives well. Every room feels intentional, with open spaces for gathering and quiet corners for privacy. It works beautifully for family life, entertaining, and working from home.”

4. The Flora Grubb Garden

“The Flora Grubb-designed garden is our destination. It’s a rare large, flat yard with heirloom succulents, agaves, palms, and fruit trees including persimmon, plum, apple, and fig. The custom treehouse and corner deck are a favorite with kids, and it’s just as lovely for a dinner party as for a quiet morning coffee.”

5. Location & Connectivity

“You’re minutes from everything. A footbridge takes you right into the Mission’s restaurants and shops. Quick freeway access makes downtown, the Peninsula, Silicon Valley, and SFO an easy trip.”

6. Room to Grow

“There’s wonderful upside here too. With expansion plans already in place, the home is a joy today and offers a clear path to make it even more down the road.” *

*Expansion plans for a vertical addition and ground-floor ADU are in the final stages of DBI review.
