Behind this Victorian facade awaits a one-of-a-kind renovated minimalistic modern duplex, artistically redesigned with earth elements of wood, concrete and metal, thoughtfully curated to create a sanctuary with a deliciously simple yet sophisticated ambiance. Each design and finish selection was done with superb attention to detail, creating clean lines, using sustainably and locally sourced materials. Located on a deep lot bordering open space in Bernal’s prime Peralta Heights neighborhood, the expansive yard offers an outdoor kitchen, dining area, concrete gas firepit, seating area, numerous raised beds and a detached office/studio space with views of Twin Peaks. The renovated interiors of both units showcase reclaimed wood floors chosen by a local miller, custom iron vanity and shelving made locally, custom cabinetry, open concept floor plans. Extensive work was done to upgrade the systems of the property including new foundation, electrical, plumbing, radiant heat, and front windows.

Unit 1658 has a multi level floor plan. Steel and raw wood beams support an open concept kitchen and living space. The renovated kitchen offers sleek polished concrete counters, custom iron shelving and cabinetry, Smeg refrigerator, stainless ILVE hood and range, and La Cantina folding glass doors opening to an outdoor garden patio. A spacious bedroom with iron framed sliding door, full bathroom with luxurious soaking tub/custom iron vanity and copper sink and a comfortable seating nook with custom storage complete this level. A skylit hallway connects the main level to a dining room that opens to the outdoor kitchen and yard and a renovated full bath. An open staircase leads to a second living area/office area or bedroom space with stunning Downtown views. Accessed from this level is a loft bedroom or office space with windows on all four sides, two skylights and a spectacular deck space with views spanning from Twin Peaks to Downtown. This unit is an expansive home with a flexible floor plan that can be customized to fit your unique needs.

Unit 1660, the upper unit, radiates with natural light. It was renovated in tandem with the lower unit, offering continuity between the two units. Raw wood beams support the open concept living/kitchen/dining spaces, which are flooded with light from the front and back windows, and a skylight over the kitchen. Radiant heated reclaimed wood floors warm the space. Walnut countertops accented by custom storage and shelving made from reclaimed wood and Big Chill vintage style modern stove and refrigerator are a cook’s delight. A spacious bedroom with sliding doors, office space with skylight, and a renovated bath with clawfoot tub complete the main living space. A laundry porch offering additional storage space, desk area, washer/dryer/sink, and direct access to the yard completes this level. Upstairs there are two bright attic style rooms, both with skylights and windows, which are currently being used as bedrooms.
