Property Description

The most charming Inner Richmond home to hit the market this spring is 522 9th Avenue. You'll fall in love with the bright living room and its historic fireplace with gleaming original tile, and the box beam ceiling in the dining room overlooking the majestic backyard. The kitchen features new hardwood flooring, quartz countertops and an updated backsplash so that you can entertain while your family or guests sit along the butcher block island. Enjoy meals on the deck right off the kitchen, beneath string lights and protected from San Francisco's winds. The backyard is expansive, with a large turf area lined with mature plantings and a classic oak tree shading the grass. Beyond the lawn, a secret patio is hidden behind a decorative fence, a peaceful oasis for coffee, work, or even hide and seek. Upstairs, three bedrooms and one bath fill the sunny top floor. Two bedrooms face west over 9th Avenue, both with closets and updated lighting, and one with a cozy window seat. A larger, primary bedroom is at the back of the home overlooking the garden and beside the full bath, updated with a contemporary dual vanity, subway tile and brass fixtures. On the lower level, the mud room includes a laundry area for a side by side washer/dryer, and opens to the attached one-car garage. An adjacent flex room and full bath could be used as a den or guest room, or bring your expansion imagination to the lower level and attic above. The Inner Richmond is one of San Francisco's most popular and coveted neighborhoods, with large historic homes, colorful facades, and tree-lined streets. Just two blocks away is Golden Gate Park, the DeYoung Museum and Academy of Sciences, and the beloved "Blue Playground." The Clement Street Farmer's Market and retail corridor is the envy of San Francisco neighborhoods, with classic destinations like Burma Superstar and Tantrum, and hip new establishments, including Pasta Shop and Rose's Pizza. Several Muni lines, along Balboa and Geary, flank 522 9th Avenue, easing transportation to downtown and beyond.
