249 Coleridge

Livable as it is Lovable. 249 Coleridge — a circa-1896 Victorian corner-parcel condo on Bernal’s tree-lined Western Slope — has 2 beds, 1 bath, garage parking, a 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. Some of those updates include a new roof, bathroom, kitchen, and lighting, 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 double-pane windows, original plaster medallions, restored original flooring, and a long, wide, bright entry hallway give it real presence and scale. Storage is generous and accessible — every closet now LED-lit. The living room anchors around a preserved Victorian fireplace, its original carved wood and tile work 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 new matte design-grade hardware, a newly lit walk-in pantry, and a second pantry that could serve as in-unit laundry. The home is 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. Little wonder about 249’s 99 Walk Score — easy access to the J-Church, 24 bus, and to 101 and 280.
