On lovely tree-lined Folsom Street in Bernal Heights, one minute north of Cortland's Village and steps to Bernal Hill, this home is the one you've been waiting for! Designed by an award-winning architect as the owners primary residence, 3702 Folsom blends the highest quality, custom craftsmanship, with modern and highly functional design. This renovation features three bedrooms, three baths upstairs, a home office, and a flexible, modern studio with a fourth bedroom, and fourth bath, a family room, its own kitchenette, patio and private entrance — all on three gorgeous levels. The main level is filled with natural light emanating from the expansive, front bay windows, and the window lined breakfast nook/sunroom that opens to the sun-drenched patio and garden. The light and airy living, dining and kitchen spaces flow together with soaring ceilings, a built-in breakfast space, and a Danish Rais wood burning fireplace — perfect for entertaining. The professional kitchen is thoughtfully designed and beautifully executed: Quartz countertops, an island with integrated and movable shelving, Gaggenau cooktop with wok burner, Bosch oven and dishwasher, a Miele range hood, and a Fireclay tile backsplash. A home office and a full bath complete the main level. Up the skylit staircase is the coveted floor plan: three bedrooms and two full baths on the same level. The luxurious primary suite offers a walkout deck with a wood privacy screen, a spacious walk-in closet, and a sumptuous en suite bath with heated floors, a spacious curbless shower, and a Bosch European washer and dryer. The two front bedrooms offer stunning Bay views and have their own tiled bath. Outside, there is a professionally landscaped, sun filled, private bamboo screened garden with low-maintenance wood decking, a brick patio, a Japanese maple, and other irrigated, lush plantings. Down the custom steel staircase to the bottom level, there is a beautiful studio with a fourth bedroom, a media space wired for projector and surround sound, a private patio, a kitchenette, and its own interior and private entry. This space is perfect for an au pair, Airbnb, guests, intergenerational living, or a media room/teen space. Huge SUV garage with electric charging outlet, and ample storage —plus a 2nd tandem parking spot with a second electric charger outlet in the driveway. Warm wood floors throughout. Lutron smart light switches. Smart “Brilliant” digital screens (connect to front doorbell camera) in kitchen and office. Ethernet wired for wifi antennas on all three levels. Ring doorbell and Nest smart thermostat. New foundation (2014), and owned solar panels on the roof. 3702 Folsom Street is surrounded by green open spaces. From this location it is a quick walk to take the dog to Bernal Hill, or the kids to the Bernal library & playground, catch MUNI, the tech shuttles or freeways south, and walk to shopping and eating in Bernal's Cortland Avenue village. This one of a kind home is truly a rare find!
