387-89 Fair Oaks Street

Victorian Charm and Modern Design

This gorgeous, iconic, one-of-a-kind Victorian retains the beauty of its perfectly preserved turn-of-the-century facade while featuring dramatic, modern and stylistically unified interior spaces. This stunning four-level home consists of two legal units that the present owner enjoys as a single family home, but the structure provides many options depending on your desire for space, rental income, privacy or other considerations.

The upper three levels constitute the larger of the two units featuring five bedrooms and four full and one half baths. House like, top floor is dedicated to a striking primary suite with high vaulted ceilings and City views. An open, dazzling private spa showcases a sublime bathing room set inside a sunlit roof turret–an exceptional architectural feature. This bathroom, like all in the house, features Grohe fixtures, Nameek accessories and ceramic tile by Porcelanosa. Set next to this breathtaking space is a dressing area with a vanity sink, storage, and separate water closet.  

A highlight of the second level is a large gourmet kitchen with quartz countertops that dramatically contrast with ebony-finished cabinets. The kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances, including wine coolers, from Bosch/Thermador. Beautiful French doors welcome you to an enchanting private deck for al fresco dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the excellent weather the neighborhood offers. Just off the kitchen is a pantry, a lovely powder room, and spacious open plan living and dining areas that include a gas fireplace and light filled, bay windows looking west over quiet, tree-lined Fair Oaks.

The entry level of this unit, which sits a handful of steps above street level, through the iconic periwinkle front door, features 4 Bedrooms and 3 full baths including two bedrooms with en suite baths. One of these bedrooms is large enough to be considered a second primary bedroom. An additional pair of bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. A convenient laundry closet and side-by-side washer and dryer are on this level as well.  A private stairway leads to the pretty, manicured shared garden, complete with hot tub.

A large, twelve hundred square foot, full-floor lower-level unit was added five years ago as part of an extensive remodel. This flat features high ceilings, two bedrooms, two full baths, powder room, laundry, functional gas fireplace, a sleek modern kitchen (outfitted as fabulously as the upstairs kitchen), and open living and dining spaces. Easy access to the yard is off the living room and one bedroom.

Enjoy the beautiful crossgrain wood flooring, high Victorian ceilings and Sonos surround sound throughout this remarkable building. Independent parking is leased right around the corner and includes an EV Charging unit, a second separate space may also be available. Besides making an extraordinary single-family residence, this flexible property would be an excellent purchase as a family compound or for partners who wish to Fast Track a condominium conversion.

Located on sought-after, tree-lined Fair Oaks Street, just a few blocks to Mission Dolores, this property is set perfectly between the Valencia/Guerrero corridor’s gourmet district and Noe Valley’s ever-popular 24th Street shops and cafes .  The neighborhood is supremely walkable, rating a 96 on walkscore.com.  Access to 280 is quick and easy via San Jose Ave, which eases Peninsula commutes. We’re confident you’ll love this amazing home as we do.
