200 San Jose Avenue

Situated in the best Noe/Mission locale, this iconic corner Italianate Victorian is a city dweller's dream - and a gardener's too. It features many of the details that make Victorians so loved - high ceilings, wainscoting, beautiful moldings - but it has been carefully updated for modern living -- from foundation to roof. Walk up the front steps through the double doors and you are struck by the home's grand scale and great light. The main level features a double parlor with built-in bookshelves and marble fireplace. A grand family room boasts original built-in cabinetry with leaded glass doors. It is adjacent to a bright, renovated kitchen which opens directly onto a covered porch and a serene garden bursting with rare old-fashioned roses. Upstairs are 3 generous bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Downstairs is a laundry room, media/exercise room and plenty of storage. A two-car garage completes this perfect package. Walk score: 99. Good vibe score: 100.
