348 Castro StreetSan Francisco, CA 94114

Behind a classic Victorian facade of bay windows, fish-scale shingles, and a columned entry, this bright top-floor condominium offers two levels of house-like living, sweeping views, and period detail throughout, in one of San Francisco's most vibrant locations. A sunlit hallway with paneled wainscoting leads to the formal living room, where a three-window bay frames rooftop views to the hills. The centerpiece is a richly carved wood mantel with spiral columns, a beveled mirror, and an iridescent tile surround. Pocket doors open to the formal dining room, anchored by a built-in china cabinet, a period brass chandelier, and paneled wainscoting. The eat-in kitchen has raised-panel cabinetry with brass pulls, glass-front uppers, granite counters, and stainless appliances, including a gas range. A picture window overlooks the garden, and the breakfast nook's wall of glass doors and transoms opens directly to the private deck. The primary suite sits at the quiet rear of the home, with garden views and an en-suite bath featuring a fluted wood vanity and a walk-in shower. A second bedroom has its own bay window with treetop and city views. The hall bath offers a tub-shower with a rain shower-head and a glass-block window. A stair from the foyer winds up to a dramatic skylit upper level. The long, open room beneath pitched ceilings is spacious enough for a media lounge and home office, or a third bedroom. An adjoining room with a closet and skylight offers storage or a potential future bath. Built-in eave storage runs throughout. Off the kitchen, the deck becomes a wooden walkway into a lush, shared garden with mature trees, palms, bougainvillea, and raised beds. A brick-and-paver patio sits beneath string lights, with two pergola-covered lounges for morning coffee and evening gatherings. In-unit laundry, additional storage, and a private one-car garage add everyday convenience. Just steps from the heart of the Castro, with its restaurants, cafes, shops, and historic Castro Theatre, and close to Duboce and Dolores Parks, Castro Muni Metro, and the F-Market streetcar.
