About this home

First time ever on the market, this charming fully detached 1919 Parkside/Sunset garden cottage holds a century of rich local history-rumored to be hand-built by its original owner, Otto, when the neighborhood was still rolling sand dunes, and cherished within the same family for 107 years. Now ready for its next chapter, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home with a rear bonus room presents a rare blank-canvas renovation opportunity for visionary buyers and investors alike. The spacious, full-standing-height basement offers tremendous potential for expanding parking or creating a legal ADU. Outside, the surprisingly expansive verdant backyard serves as a serene private retreat featuring a pond, waterfall, and lush foliage.Situated in a premier location just one block from Vicente Street dining, blocks from West Portal shopping, and steps from Stern Grove Park, this historic gem is ready to be transformed into a modern masterpiece.
