About This Property

Bonus room plus detached studio! This fresh, bright cottage is located on a quiet, tree-lined block very close to Tilden Park. Set well back from the street, the front of the house hugs a private, sun-drenched courtyard, while the rear overlooks a breathtaking vista of the San Francisco Bay and Golden Gate Bridge. The house is in very good condition with a large rebuilt rear deck, seismic retrofit, pest control clearance, and new sewer line. There is a bonus room that could be used as a 3rd bedroom, and a detached "studio" with a sleeping loft. In addition to the courtyard and deck, there is a vegetable garden area with a huge planter bed. This property may also be accessed by way of a gate from Grizzly Peak Blvd (easy access to bus stop).
