Located on the desirable northwest slope of Bernal Heights, 51 Prospect is a charming 1909 home offering a peaceful retreat from the city, with unobstructed views toward Twin Peaks and the San Francisco skyline. Set back from a quiet, tree-lined street, the home has an intimate, welcoming character, a private garden, and flexible living spaces, all within easy reach of the neighborhood's favorite destinations. The main level is bathed in natural light which highlights the rich wood floors of the main living space, while French doors open to the primary bedroom. A built-in window bench beneath the front windows creates a cozy spot for reading or morning coffee. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and generous cabinetry, while the second bedroom overlooks the garden and boasts ample closet space. A thoughtfully updated bathroom includes a double vanity, shower-over-tub combination & radiant floor heating, complemented by a convenient laundry closet with side-by-side washer and dryer. Just off the main living level, the secluded garden feels like a natural extension of the living space. A wood pergola shades the stone patio, creating an inviting setting for alfresco dining, quiet afternoons, or gatherings with friends. Raised planting beds and a fountain lend the outdoor space a charming, intimate atmosphere. Upstairs, the finished attic offers a versatile retreat for a home office, creative studio, or occasional guests, complete with a half bath. A one-car garage and full basement provide abundant storage and practical flexibility. With a Walk Score of 92, the location strikes an appealing balance between neighborhood charm and urban convenience. The cafs, restaurants, and independent shops of Cortland Avenue and Precita Park are just blocks away, while nearby Bernal Heights Park offers scenic trails and panoramic city views. Easy access to Highways 101 and 280 makes commuting throughout San Francisco and down the Peninsula equally convenient.
