1932 Fell St, #1

This cute-as-a-button studio located in an elegant mansion across the street from the Panhandle proves that San Francisco can be affordable. Both the building and the unit have abundant period details such as an impressive Victorian lobby with a grand foyer and staircase, as well as columns and large picture windows in the studio itself. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a gas range, dishwasher, and a built-in microwave. The bath is updated. The shared laundry room is on site and there is even parking for a small car (think Mini Cooper or Fiat). A large backyard on the building’s double lot has a patio area with a grill and a lovely lawn with mature trees, including a beautiful date palm as its centerpiece.

The studio is located in the popular North of Panhandle neighborhood, right across from the park. The nearby Divisadero corridor offers numerous choices for groceries, restaurants, cafes, and nightlife, or walk right out the front door and cross the Panhandle into the vibrant Haight. Walk to Golden Gate Park and the Koret Health and Recreation Center of the University of San Francisco. Target and Trader Joe’s also have outposts nearby. The address gets an impressive Walk Score of 94, but when traveling not on foot: tech shuttles, bike routes, easy Muni access to downtown and elsewhere around the city, as well as the 101 freeway are all features of the fabulous location.
