San Francisco Chronicle - (Sunday)
Hot Property
The Dolores Park home includes a roof terrace with views of San Francisco and Oakland.
There’s a lot to like about 3956 20th St., especially for those fond of hosting and entertaining. The modernized three-bedroom down the street from Mission Dolores Park presents abundant opportunities for gathering and socializing.
A landscaped garden backyard off the main level features multiple decks and a patio, while a roof deck offering views of downtown San Francisco and Oakland crowns the home.
“As far as homes with indoor/outdoor living opportunities, this is the best example I’ve seen in San Francisco in some time,” said Aaron Bellings of Vanguard Properties, who is co-listing the home with his brother Michael Bellings for $2.995 million. “There’s four or five sitting areas outside, a hot tub and fire pit.”
Built in 1916, the home offers classical design elements like inlaid hardwood flooring and transom windows. A thorough remodel resulted in a flowing floor plan, as well as modernizations to the kitchen, two bathrooms and powder room.
Equipped with a pair of sinks and a professional range, the kitchen is geared toward serious chefs. The kitchen looks into the family room through a large opening, and stands beside a dining area that frames views of the backyard.
The home opens to an entryway that quickly transitions into a family room with a tray ceiling and recessed lighting. This family rooms opens to the backyard, where a multilevel deck and patio with a gas fire pit await.
