249 Coleridge

249 Coleridge a circa-1896 Victorian corner-parcel condominium on Bernal’s tree-lined Western Slope has 2 bedrooms, 1 updated bathroom, garage parking, a ~ 300 sqft deeded garden, and ~1,000 sqft of living area. While 249 maintains its stately Victorian vibe, it’s been updated so you can live your best life in one of the best and warmest neighborhoods in the City. Updates include a newer roof, updated bathroom and kitchen, and just-updated, luxurious and luminous lighting with smart-home Lutron controls along with floor refinishing, dual-pane windows, and a garden refresher. Detached on three sides, 249 reads larger than its footprint. Its ~10.5-ft ceilings, tall windows, original plaster medallions, restored flooring, and a long, bright entry hallway give it real presence and scale. Storage is generous every closet now LED-lit. The living room anchors around a preserved Victorian fireplace, its original carved wood and tilework setting the room’s color story. Above, a starburst pendant part of the designer lighting that carries through the home and shines brightly out the windows. The kitchen update was intentional: a new externally vented gas range using the original brick chimney, soft-close cabinetry with matte design-grade hardware, a newly lit walk-in pantry, and a second pantry that could serve as in-unit laundry. Part of an informally run 2-unit building built from old-growth redwood atop Bernal’s bedrock. Depending on direction, it’s a short walk to Bernal Village on Cortland or to Mission Street and its vitality. Restaurants, markets, coffee shops, and dog-friendly parks abound Bernal Hill and Holly Park minutes away. Little wonder about 249’s 96 Walk Score as there is proximity to the J-Church MUNI ( a few minutes’ walk), the 24 line bus, tech shuttles and 101 and 280.
