870 42nd Avenue

Filled with natural coastal light and timeless charm, this 1924 Marina Style single family home with Mediterranean Revival influences brings warmth and distinct San Francisco character to every room. Beyond the entry medallion and wrought-iron gate, period details abound throughout the main level: beautiful hardwood floors with mahogany inlays, an elegant tray ceiling with ornamental egg-and-dart plaster crown molding, an arched fireplace flanked by built-in bookcase shelving, picture rail moldings and high ceilings. The spacious, sunlit living room connects to the formal dining room and the refreshed kitchen, with quartz countertops, new flooring, and a walk-in pantry. In the rear of the home are two light filled bedrooms, and a sunroom/family room featuring French doors that open directly onto a redwood deck for indoor/outdoor living. A remodeled split bathroom features white subway tiling with crisp charcoal grout, a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with Starphire frameless doors. The flex space on the lower level works well as an office, workshop, or exercise studio, with direct access to a concrete patio and garden. Situated on a lot of approximately 3,000 square feet, the deep yard boasts a lawn bordered by garden beds with irrigation and blooming bougainvillea. Completing the property is a cavernous 2+ car garage with an epoxy floor, built-in storage cabinets, and a laundry area with washer/dryer. The property includes many system updates, including a composition shingle roof replacement (2019), an upgraded main water line to a 1-inch copper pipe with a brass shutoff valve (2019), double-pane Milgard energy-efficient windows throughout (2015), a rebuilt lower rear room with structural improvements (2013), and a Bradford White water heater (2024).
