An enchanting cottage on the sunny southern slope of Bernal Heights. Nestled beneath a beautiful Italian stone pine, 456 Prentiss Street is a charming single-family home blending vintage character, thoughtful updates, and an enchanting garden setting just two blocks from Cortland Avenue. Refinished wide-plank knotty pine floors extend through the main living spaces, with abundant natural light and new Blu Dot lighting. The inviting living room features a wall of windows, wood accent wall, and direct access to the large brick patio, creating a wonderful extension of the home for outdoor dining, entertaining, or relaxing beneath the trees. The updated kitchen features marble countertops, butcher-block prep space, hand-carved Zanzibari pantry doors, stained-glass window, LG gas range, GE refrigerator, stainless steel dishwasher, and stacked Bosch washer and dryer. The updated bathroom features custom hand-laid floor tile, CB2 vanity, and Schoolhouse Electric lighting. Tucked away on the quiet lower level, the spacious bedroom features hardwood floors and built-in cabinetry. A skylight and floor-to-ceiling hallway window bring in natural light, while a large attic provides ample storage and functionality. The lush, magical backyard features raised garden beds, native and drought-tolerant landscaping, fruiting fig and passion fruit, and a new redwood staircase. A finished shed with power offers flexible space for a work-from-home office or studio, while the property offers future expansion potential. A new roof and skylight were added in 2024. Boasting a 91 Walk Score, this prime Bernal Heights location is just two blocks from Cortland Avenue and moments from beloved restaurants, cafs, shops, and parks.
