A rare, rent-controlled 2BR/2BA, 1,200 sq ft stand-alone rear cottage, rebuilt foundation-up in 2015. This private two-story home offers modern finishes, excellent natural light, and a quiet off-street setting, perfectly positioned between the Mission and Potrero Hill.
The two-level layout provides great separation of space. Features include in-unit washer and dryer, tankless hot water heater, heated bathroom floor, gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, and ample storage, plus additional secured storage in the garage. Tenants also enjoy a sunny shared patio.
Unbeatable location: walk to neighborhood restaurants, cafes, and shops. Just minutes to Highway 101, Caltrain, San Francisco General Hospital, UCSF Mission Bay, and a quick 5-minute drive to Whole Foods, Costco, Target, Safeway, and Trader Joe's.
