Behind the house, a lush, one-of-a-kind garden designed by Flora Grubb Gardens unfolds around monumental stones and gently splashing fountains, leading to a sunken spa. Coffee is on the bistro deck. Afternoons belong to the flagstone terrace. When dusk arrives, the garden lights turn the whole scene into something that feels, quite honestly, like a dream. A fireplace anchors the foyer. The dining room is all box-beam ceiling, picture rail, and glass-front china cabinet, a room that yearns to host. The kitchen pairs stainless steel counters with updated appliances. Two bedrooms share the main level with a bath built around a freestanding soaking tub, and a flex room off the foyer, fitted with built-in shelving and cabinetry, can be a pantry, a craft room, or the place where projects live. Refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior and exterior paint, and new lighting run throughout. The top-floor rooms feels tucked away on purpose. Bookcases are fitted beneath the eaves, and the dressing has a window seat with views of the garden. A sitting area, separate office, and private bath make the floor a retreat of its own. Accessed from the street and the garden, the approximately 1,160-square-foot garage level offers two-car parking, a workshop, storage, and laundry. It also offers development potential, subject to buyer verification, which gives the future you plenty to think about. The garden spirit doesn't stop at the property line. Neighbors tend the hillside plantings along the block, and a community mural is on the way. The shops and cafs of 24th Street are a few blocks away. On Saturdays, the farmers market at Noe Valley Town Square makes an easy weekend ritual, and the Diamond Street stairs lead the way toward the Castro.
