289 Nevada St

Exhale. You’ve Arrived at Your Bernal Heights Retreat

Behind the custom redwood fence with playful bumblebee cutouts, 289 Nevada Street welcomes you into your own Bernal Heights oasis. The front garden brims with life — jasmine, a Japanese maple, and fruiting cherry, lemon, and persimmon trees frame a red brick walkway leading to a wide deck and the doors of this Craftsman bungalow. From the moment you enter, you exhale — this is a home that feels like a retreat, serene and tranquil, yet just one block from Cortland Avenue.

The 2025 remodel blended timeless architecture with modern comfort: new American Oak hardwood floors, recessed and designer lighting, and remodeled kitchen and baths created a breezy, light-filled flow. Cathedral ceilings and skylights soar above an open living and dining area with fireplace, flowing into a chef’s kitchen with quartz counters and high-end appliances. French doors extend to a redwood deck with Bay views. A bedroom, bright bathroom, and a loft with amazing views complete the main level.

Down the spiral staircase, the retreat level unfolds as a private suite with fireplace, patio access, and a bathroom where a glass-surround shower feels connected to the outdoors yet fully private behind bamboo. Detached on three sides, with rare 3-car parking and EV charging, this home balances beauty and practicality. Just a block from Cortland Avenue’s shops, cafés, and markets, near Alemany Farmer’s Market and Bernal’s parks, with quick access to MUNI, BART, 101 and 280.
