and Receipts
In its prime.
758 Monterey is a renovated single-family home in San Francisco’s Sunnyside neighborhood, with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 1,710 square feet across two levels, plus a one-car garage and a deep landscaped rear garden. A permitted extensive house remodel from 2018 through 2022 brought major foundation, seismic, plumbing, electrical, roof, heating, air-conditioning and dehumidification work, along with a new kitchen, baths, windows and a genuinely connected smart-home system.
What the owners didn’t touch are key parts of the home’s 1924 character. The plaster archway with its corbels is still there. So are the coved ceilings and the arched brick fireplace, now flanked by LED-lit built-ins. The living-room bay was converted to a picture window with opening casements and extra-thick double-pane glass, so the light comes in and the boulevard stays outside.
Outside, a lawn flanked by olive and fig trees leads to a raised patio, with privacy fencing and landscape lighting. Inside, Cat-6 wiring, PoE access points, Nest controls, smart locks and new lighting make this a genuinely connected home. Convenient to Glen Park BART, Ocean Avenue, I-280 and US-101, 758 is a house in its prime — with the plans, permits and records showing the work.
It's literally a smart home done by smart people for their own use and exacting standards.

Five years of work, in order.
The owners kept the classic coved ceilings, the original plaster archway and corbels, and the arched brick fireplace, now framed by LED-lit built-ins. The upper level includes a broad living-room bay window with dual-pane glass and surround sound, a separate dining room, custom kitchen, two bedrooms and two full baths, with the primary en suite featuring a walk-in closet and views to the landscaped yard.
The lower level includes the third bedroom, an en suite full bath, desk nook, full-size laundry, separate exterior entry and a working garage with ample storage and room for weekend projects.
All three bathrooms have powered Toto toilets, lit vanity mirrors and Hansgrohe fittings. The kitchen has custom soft-close cabinetry, Caesarstone surfaces, a Thermador range and an externally vented Zephyr hood, with direct garden access.
Most listings ask you to take the words “fully renovated” on faith. This one has dates. Every line below was done by the owners for their own use, and the heavy structural work is still visible in the garage if you want to check it yourself.

New light, new color.
Ahead of this sale the house has been relit end to end and repainted in new Benjamin Moore designer colors. The fixtures come from three Northern California makers — Pablo Designs and Gantri in San Francisco, Ray’s Lighting in Watsonville — nothing off a national catalog.
Cook, then step outside.
Custom soft-close cabinets, quartz counters carried up the wall as a full-height slab behind the range, and an externally vented Zephyr hood. Thermador range and KitchenAid refrigerator went in in 2021. Bosch dishwasher, InSinkErator disposal, floating shelves at the window.
A room of its own.
A separate formal dining room sits between the kitchen and the living room, open to both through a wide cased opening. Pendants over the table, and a hall that runs the depth of the floor.
Two up, one down.
Two bedrooms up, with the primary facing the landscaped yard, and one bedroom down with yard access. Hunter Douglas blackout shades in the bedrooms; three skylights bring light into the stair and the rooms above.
All three baths: Duravit vanities, LED-lit medicine cabinets, Hansgrohe trim, powered Toto Washlet bidets.
A suite with its own front door.
The lower level en suite bedroom was just storage when the owners bought. Now it’s a fully built out 3rd bedroom that could double as a suite for family, childcare provider or, perhaps, income.
- Private Entry
- Full Bath
- Walk-in Closet
- Desk Nook
- Laundry
Two rooms, not one yard.
The back garden is divided between a turfed area with an olive tree and a raised patio area with California-appropriate plantings and a pair of fig trees. A richly stained privacy fence adds depth and highlights the landscape. Night time landscape lighting adds an extra level of dimensionality.
Where you can see the work.
You can see the seismic updates the owners did — sill plate, holdowns and shear panel. There’s the tankless water heater, the 200A power panel (an EV outlet can be added), epoxy floors, task lighting and overall lighting, and new secure garage doors. Built-in cabinetry and a workbench on one side, and a door to interior stairs so the garage connects to the house rather than sitting under it.
