Edwardian Elegance Meets Modern Living in Prime Nopa
Perched on a peaceful hillside near USF Law School and a short distance to the Pandhandle Park, this 1,735-square-foot Edwardian condominium offers a rare combination: authentic period character, thoughtful modern updates, and a flexible floor plan designed for how people actually live today.
The Main Level: Classic Edwardian Grace
Step inside to discover what makes turn-of-the-century San Francisco architecture so enduringly appealing. The full-width living room anchors the front of the home, where a fireplace, oversized bay window, and western exposure create the kind of warm afternoon light that makes you want to linger. Adjacent, the generous dining room showcases carefully restored Edwardian woodwork—molding and period details that speak to the craftsmanship of another era.
The renovated eat-in kitchen strikes the right balance between vintage charm and contemporary function, while two beautifully updated bathrooms deliver modern comfort without sacrificing character. Throughout the main level, you'll find substantial closet space, including an enclosed windowed office—practical luxuries in any San Francisco home.
The two bedrooms occupy the quiet rear of the floor plan, where eastern morning light filters in and garden views provide a serene backdrop. It's the kind of thoughtful layout that feels increasingly rare: public spaces facing the west for natural light and energy, private spaces tucked away for rest and calm.
The Lower Suite: Flexibility and Income Potential
Here's where this home becomes truly versatile. The lower level features a spacious bedroom suite with its own ensuite bathroom (complete with an oversized soaking tub), French doors that open onto a private deck, and access to the shared garden beyond.
The former owners successfully rented this suite for substantial supplemental income, but it's equally well-suited as an au pair quarters, long-term guest suite, or private retreat for multi-generational living. The separate entrance and self-contained layout provide privacy while maintaining connection to the main residence.
The Practical Details
One-car garage parking, private laundry, and generous storage solve two of San Francisco's perennial challenges. Monthly HOA dues of just $150. In a boutique two-unit building, you enjoy low-maintenance ownership.
The Location
Nopa continues to be one of San Francisco's most walkable, livable neighborhoods—and this particular block delivers on that promise. Golden Gate Park's trails and meadows are moments away. Divisadero's restaurants, cafes, and shopping are an easy stroll. Public transit connects you to the rest of the city. And the peaceful residential setting means you're close to everything without being in the middle of it all.
This is the kind of home that works for today while honoring yesterday.
