Light and Bright Bernal Home
4121 Folsom Street is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom single family home with a one-car garage, extra storage, and a flat garden. Built in 1947 and located in desirable Bernal Heights, this spacious home is both practical and comfortable. Enhanced with vintage and contemporary architectural details and fixtures including large windows and skylights, hardwood floors, ornate moulding, and recessed lighting, this sunny home has a landscaped front garden and expansion potential.
The entryway, complete with a coat closet, provides direct access to the garage and the serene and sunny flat back yard which has a patio, natural lawn, raised beds and mature plantings, including a lemon tree. Also on the ground level, you will find a separated bedroom that could be used as a guest suite or a home office. A full bath with a shower is just across the hall.
The main living spaces are just upstairs, reachable via skylit stairs to an airy landing that comes with both storage and linen closets. The living room, with hardwood floors, a picture window, and a working fireplace with an ornate vintage surround, is a bright and cheerful space. The open plan kitchen has plentiful cabinetry including a pantry. The dining area offers abundant natural light from the large windows and skylight overhead. Two large bedrooms complete this level.
Both the master bedroom and the third bedroom are large enough for king-sized beds and offer sizable closets and views of the landscaped garden. The bathroom, with a shower over tub, has a skylight and a pedestal sink.
The garage has a laundry area with a utility sink, along with extra storage or even expansion potential.
A quick jaunt to the Cortland Avenue corridor, you’ll find interesting shops such as 12 Small Things, which features twelve artisan products each season from makers worldwide, and the Epicurean Trader, a speciality food and beverage store. You will also love destination restaurants such as seasonally delicious 3rd Cousin and craft cocktail bar, Holy Water. Bare Bottle, the local craft brewery, is open to both dogs and children, making it perfect for a group outing. Delicious restaurants include Vega and Moki’s Sushi.
Daytime delights include three parks, namely Bernal Heights Park with its 360-degree views of the city, the renovated dog-and-kid-friendly Holly Park, and the Bernal Heights Recreation Center as well as the Bernal Heights Public Library. And don’t forget the Alemany Farmers Market every Saturday with its abundance of fresh produce.
Nearby, you will find Bernal Yoga, a great place to unwind. Bernal Heights—with a community feel, practical amenities, and easy access to downtown, the Mission, and Silicon Valley—is classy without being fussy, a bit quirky, and one of San Francisco’s best-loved neighborhoods!
