About This Property
Available furnished or unfurnished, this tri-level townhouse is a city-dweller's dream. Located in Duboce Triangle less than a block from Duboce park, this home is easy walking distance to commercial areas in the Mission, Castro, Upper Market, Lower Haight, NoPa/Divis, and Hayes Valley, putting the best of what San Francisco has to offer within easy reach. Adjacent to the N-Judah line and only 2 blocks from Church & Market station, the entire Muni light rail system with its connections to BART, Caltrain, and both SFO and OAK airports are easily accessible. Being half a mile from the 101 onramp makes commuting south or east a breeze, and for those that prefer pedal power, being located right at the base of The Wiggle provides unbeatable access to SF’s extensive network of protected bike paths with minimal sweat. Furry friends are welcome, and Duboce park provides unparalleled social opportunities for both dogs and their humans. With a walk-score of 97, transit score of 100 and bike score of 92, this is one of the few places in SF where it is truly practical to live without a car.
The townhouse itself is part of a small complex of ten units designed by renowned civil architect Donald McDonald as a prototype of the architectural vision set forth in his book “Democratic Architecture”, and the thoughtful layout of the space reflects its origin as an architect’s labor of love. On the first floor there is a large master bedroom with a recently renovated en-suite bathroom and sliding glass doors that open onto a private 150 square foot patio with a gas fire pit for relaxed evenings. An attached garage complete with a full featured home gym, folding work bench, locked bike parking, and in-unit laundry can seamlessly transition between parking space and living space as needed. The second floor is a single, expansive, open living space with oak floors, vaulted ceilings, huge south facing windows, and two large skylights that barely feels like indoor space at all on a bright summer day. A half bath on this level is convenient for guests, and a small balcony over the back patio is perfect for morning coffee on a sunny day. The third level is a loft space configured as a home office and guest bedroom, with tons of natural light from the two skylights making it a delightful place to work from home. The dishwasher, in-unit laundry, and independent heating and air conditioning on all three levels leaves nothing to be desired.
492 Duboce Ave is a townhome located in San Francisco County and the 94117 ZIP Code.
