This detached Marina-style home sits on a peaceful residential street in the Outer Richmond district, with easy access to some of the best the city has to offer. Built in 1925 and lovingly restored over the past decade, the upper level is full of beautifully preserved original period detail including coved ceilings, intricate plaster and picture rail moldings, wainscoting, refinished hardwood floors, and beveled-glass accents throughout. Rich in character and pride of ownership.
A formal entry foyer welcomes you inside, and the upstairs flows naturally from a spacious living room to formal dining and a sunlit breakfast nook. The layout lives beautifully: a public half at the front for entertaining and a more private half at the back, with doors that carve out discrete spaces without cutting off sight lines, creating a floor plan that lends itself naturally to multi-generational living.
Downstairs, the foyer opens to an additional family room, wet bar, and a full bathroom. The lower level also hosts a flexible space off of the rear garden with a separate street entrance. This space incorporates a full living room and dining room with kitchenette, as well as a bedroom and a full bathroom.
Outside, the generous, mature backyard is home to decades-old garden specimens and even a peekaboo water view. All within blocks of Balboa Village, transit, Lands End, Golden Gate Park, and the coast. A rare blend of character, space, and location.

Location
The Outer Richmond sits at San Francisco’s northwestern edge, where fog rolls in off the Pacific and the city gives way to open coastline. This peaceful residential neighborhood features wider streets, easier parking, and a decidedly low-key atmosphere compared to the bustle of downtown districts. The weather runs cooler and windier than the rest of the city, particularly in the mornings and evenings when the marine layer settles in. Life centers around the outdoors: Ocean Beach stretches along the western boundary, Golden Gate Park borders the south, and Lincoln Park and Lands End Trail offer coastal hiking just minutes away.
Balboa Village—the commercial corridor along Balboa Street—and Geary Boulevard anchor neighborhood life in the Outer Richmond, with a solid mix of restaurants, neighborhood cafes, and local shops. The local vibe is less about nightlife than morning coffee runs, weekend trail hikes, and calm residential blocks lined with Edwardian and Victorian homes. Public transit runs primarily along Geary, with the nearby 38R Rapid connecting the Outer Richmond directly to downtown and the rest of the city.
