825 Olmstead Street

On one of the Portola's most cherished blocks at the gateway to McLaren Park, this 3-bedroom plus office, 2-bath home blends warmth, versatility, and an enviable connection to neighborhood life. The upper level is anchored by an eat-in kitchen, skylit dining area, bright living room, and hardwood floors throughout all opening to a private deck above a showstopping garden. The lower level offers a third bedroom, flexible office or sitting room, updated bath, bamboo flooring, wine storage, interior garage access, and in-unit laundry. Skylights flood the living room and upper bath with natural light, and the views from the front of the home are nothing short of spectacular. Downtown San Francisco, the Bay Bridge, and the green hills of the East Bay all visible from your own windows. Out back, a beautifully tended garden awaits: raised vegetable and herb planters, rosemary, hydrangeas, fruit trees, and fragrant white roses that bloom each summer and drift into the downstairs bedroom. McLaren Park is a two-minute walk away and earns every bit of its reputation as one of the City's best-kept secrets: miles of trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, tennis and pickleball courts, a bike path, and the beloved Philosopher's Walk with sweeping city views. The Portola neighborhood itself is the rare kind where neighbors become friends: expect a spirited Halloween party, the annual Portola Garden Tour each September, and the occasional visit from City Grazing's goats just a few blocks away. The location also couldn't be more convenient: easy access to the City, the Peninsula, and the East Bay makes 825 Olmstead as practical as it is special.
