Victorian retreat w/ skyline views

Mornings in this top-floor apartment begin with light drifting through historic windows, rooftops stretching below and the Bay Bridge visible in the distance. As dusk settles over Bernal Heights, city lights flicker to life and the skyline takes on a quiet warmth - a view best appreciated from your own private balcony with the cool San Francisco air around you. Central heating keeps things comfortable through the city's cooler months, and the apartment's layered interiors - original artwork, diamond-pitched ceilings, Mid-Century Modern pieces alongside antiques and vintage finds - make it easy to stay in as much as go out. This top-floor, 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment occupies the entire second floor of one of Bernal Heights' oldest Victorian homes, cared for by the same family across generations and featured in San Francisco tour books. Original architectural character runs throughout, from the shaped ceilings to the curated mix of furnishings that reflect the home's long creative history.
