Discover 85 Valparaiso, a charming 2-unit building in Russian Hill that last sold in the 1970s. Nestled on a quiet street between Taylor and Mason, it offers the quintessential San Francisco experience. Just steps from Columbus Street, Coit Tower, Washington Square, and North Beach, there’s even a cable car stop at the end of the street.
Delivered vacant, this property features twin units, each with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, plus rare outdoor space. The ground floor boasts two independent garage doors, allowing parking for up to 3 cars, and two sets of laundry machines. The remaining ground floor space is undeveloped, offering a range of possibilities.
Renovated in 2018, 85 Valparaiso includes updated kitchens, bathrooms, and systems. Its front façade, refreshed with a stylish Benjamin Moore color scheme, reflects its history dating back to 1907 when it was home to a family in the wine business. The unique upper doors above the entry, originally used for moving wine barrels in a previous owner’s cottage industry, now provide an easy way to move furniture.
With a 92 Transit Score and a 97 Walk Score, enjoy easy access to public transit and numerous dining, shopping, and entertainment options within minutes from your front door.
