Step into this stunning, nearly 1,300 sq. ft. top-floor Edwardian flat with soaring 10-foot ceilings, beautifully located in the heart of San Francisco’s vibrant Mission District. This spacious 5-room home seamlessly blends historic charm with modern... updates, offering both character and convenience. It's the upper unit in a duplex.
Key Features: 4 Bedrooms: Two large bedrooms, one smaller bedroom, and a flexible layout. The expansive 225+ sq. ft. living room can easily serve as a fourth bedroom - as large as most studio - perfect for families, couples, 2 room-mates, or a home office setup for professionals. With its generous size, the living room comfortably accommodates two people, while each large bedroom provides ample space for one, so it easily fits 4. The smaller third bedroom offers flexibility, ideal for use as a library, den, guest room, media space, computer station, or study room.
Fully Renovated Throughout: Brand-new kitchen sink, stone countertops, vinyl flooring, cabinets, and toilets. Hardwood floors have been refinished with a fresh protective coating. The unit is freshly painted while preserving the classic Edwardian charm.
Bright and Airy: Nearly every room is filled with 10+ hrs. abundant natural light, making artificial lighting almost unnecessary during the day. Enjoy a home that truly energizes and uplifts.
1.5 Bathrooms: Unlike many rentals with ensuite-only setups, this unit features two public shared-access bathrooms - a full bath and a half bath - offering convenience for room-mates or shared living situations.
Spacious Layout: Elegant proportions, updated hardwood flooring throughout, and classic Edwardian architectural details create a warm, stylish living space.
High Ceilings: Rare 10-foot ceilings provide a sense of openness and grandeur.
Sunny Kitchen: Featuring brand-new cabinetry, expansive stone countertops, a gas stove and oven, and a modern, ultra-quiet exhaust fan for efficient ventilation. The nearly 200 sq. ft. adjoining space can serve as a dining area or living room combo, maximizing versatility. Bonus: A microwave is included for tenant use (not pictured).
Natural Light: Large windows fill the flat with sunlight, offering a warm and inviting ambiance.
Unbeatable Location: Situated at 18th Street & Valencia Corridor, one of the most sought-after locations in the city. Steps from legendary food spots like Delfina, Tartine Bakery, Bi-Rite, and Ritual Coffee, plus a wide array of international restaurants, shops, and nightlife venues. Close to Dolores Park, Mission Playground & Pool, SFPD, BART, MUNI, and tech shuttle stops. A favorite among young professionals and tech workers.
What Makes This Home Stand Out: 1. Prime Location: Near world-class dining, nightlife, and a vibrant, professional community.
2. Tons of Natural Light: Every room gets 10+ hours of sunlight daily - great for mood and productivity.
3. Exceptional Value: Priced at $5,395/month for 1-3 tenants, well below Zestimate ($6,045). Additional occupants will incur an extra $300 per person to account for extra wear & tear, weight, and noise - still cheaper than a studio in this area which can easily over $1,800/mo.
4. Safe, Welcoming Community: Friendly neighbors and a reliable on-site property manager.
5. And more! In many cultures, the number 168 symbolizes "Luck, Fortune & Prosperity All the Way." It's considered so auspicious that people are often willing to invest significantly to acquire this lucky number! It's believed to bring great prosperity - imagine the future multi-millionaire, billionaire, or highly successful individual (yes, that could be you!) who once lived here LOL! This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity waiting for you! Nearly everyone would admire and dream of proudly saying they live in this lucky-number home! Once it's gone, it's gone - don't miss out!
VERY UNIQUE! Where else can you find a property that checks off these vital boxes and meets all these essential criteria? A rare GEM like this is truly hard to come by - living in this vibrant, blessing-filled home makes you a WINNER! Don't forget, other renters and house hunters are also eager to lock in such an exceptional deal.
LEASE TERMS: Minimum lease duration: 6 months, 1-year lease preferred. After 1 yr, it becomes month-to-month. No smoking building. Security deposit is one month's rent.
Utilities: The owner provides complimentary basic Wi-Fi (Monkeybrains, typically ~100+ Mbps). For tenants who require faster speeds, Sonic fiber-optic Gigabit internet is available at their own expense. Tenants pay for their own PG&E bills and will share the costs of water, sewer, and garbage based on headcount, as shown by the manager.
Parking: on street parking only (I permit from SFMTA). Optional Parking: A private driveway parking spot is available for an additional $200/month - a creative solution for hassle-free parking! Ask me in person for more details.
Pet-friendly: Well-behaved, non-aggressive breeds are welcome. Pets require a refundable pet deposit of $500 per pet and a monthly pet rent of $50 per pet. Restrictions apply to heavy or aggressive breeds to ensure the comfort and safety of all tenants.
Additional Amenities: Free In-Building Laundry: Convenient washer and dryer located in the basement. Unlike most units where laundry machines occupy a closet-sized space (over 3' x 3') inside the rental, this setup keeps them out of the unit - freeing up valuable interior space for your personal use. A practical bonus rarely offered!
Ample Storage: Features multiple large closets, additional bathroom storage, and a spacious pantry - ideal for storing food, kitchen essentials, and more.
Shared Outdoor Space: Enjoy a backyard patio with space for BBQs, tables, and chairs. Garden enthusiasts can take advantage of three garden buckets provided for planting flowers or vegetables.
