Perched at the top of Cole Valley on lovely Carmel Street, this condominium was renovated by the current owners to maintain its craftsman character while adding a host of modern conveniences. Number 21 has a private entry opening to the social rooms of the home, with a gallery hall, living room with bay window and gas fireplace, wood-paneled formal dining room, and fresh eat-in kitchen with high end appliances and laundry area. In the quiet rear of the home, the two bedrooms and two baths offer a respite; with a primary suite featuring corner window outlooks and stone-clad bath with double vanity, and an ample guest bedroom with glass door leading to the deep backyard area. The two-unit building maintains a casual HOA, with each owner having parking and storage on the garage level, and access to the landscaped backyard. Located in one of San Francisco's most special neighborhoods, just outside the door to 21 Carmel are urban hiking trails up to Tank Hill or through Sutro Forrest, and an easy jaunt down to the Cole Valley village offers shopping and restaurants like Zazie, La Boulangerie, Luke's Local, Cole Hardware, and more. The 37-bus line and N-Judah Muni also make access to downtown a breeze, for the perfect mix of neighborhood comfort and big city attractions.
