A Thoughtfully Preserved Victorian Residence

Welcome to 170 Hearst Avenue - a rare standalone single-family residence that marries architectural integrity with versatile, well-considered updates in charming Sunnyside. With sun-filled living space and a landscaped garden, this 1-bedroom, 1-bath home offers scale, charm, and function in equal measure — all wrapped in a meticulously maintained Victorian package.

Inside, the home opens to a sunlit, open floor plan that invites seamless flow between living, dining, and entertaining spaces. High ceilings and rich period details nod to the home’s historic roots, while a suite of recent updates — including a refreshed kitchen and bath with stainless steel appliances — brings a clean, contemporary sensibility to the home. 

At the heart of the home, a wood-burning fireplace anchors the generously proportioned parlor, now serving as a cozy and elegant bedroom. It is a room that feels both grounded and transportive, rich in detail and full of possibility.

Above, a large attic retreat with skylights and closets offers incredible bonus space. Whether used as a home office, guest area, or creative studio, this sunlit hideaway expands the home’s versatility well beyond its listed square footage.

The home's lower level offers just as much flexibility, with a spacious garage and basement providing exceptional storage and future expansion potential. With room for three-car parking — a true luxury in San Francisco — the home delivers rare functionality alongside its beauty.

Outdoors, the terraced garden is both usable and enchanting — ideal for quiet mornings, alfresco dinners, or an afternoon with a good book. A large, paved side yard adds to the home’s versatility, offering possibilities for entertaining, recreation, or even future projects.

170 Hearst is a home with history and heart - lovingly cared for, endlessly adaptable, and ideally located near Glen Park village, BART, and the best of Sunnyside. One of SF’s Slow Streets, Hearst Street is home for those who appreciate charm, character, and intentional living.  This is a residence that feels like a well-kept secret. Welcome home.
