The kitchen, situated behind the dining room, has been tastefully remodeled, keeping the home's age and vintage aesthetics in mind. Plenty of warm, cinnamon-colored cabinets and drawers provide abundant kitchen storage and complements the soapstone counters, simple white subway-tile backsplash and the white porcelain farmhouse sink. Premium stainless steel appliances include a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator and dishwasher, plus a five-burner gas range with a stainless Zephyr chimney-style range vent. The updated laundry room has a Bosch washer and dryer, storage shelving and rustic floor tiles.

The large primary bedroom includes picture rails, an oak floor, a closet with custom California Closets organizers, and loads of natural light accentuated through a wall of bay windows and a nine-foot ceiling. The home's second bedroom is also generously sized, and has many of the same features as the primary bedroom. The rooms are connected by a remodeled bathroom with a large walk-in shower, white subway tiles, a storage cabinet and period fixtures.

The downstairs garden unit has two separate entrances, and offers many flexible uses. The permitted, self-contained apartment can be used for short or long term rental income, a level-in in-law unit, or combining the owner unit to create a large single family residence with an expansive family room, kitchen, large bathroom and additional bedrooms and/or home office spaces. Completely updated and move-in-ready, this sunny apartment is a valuable addition to the home! Both the owner and garden units have direct access to the wonderful backyard space that includes a detached garage converted into a finished studio or workshop.

1521 Pacific Ave offers the chance to acquire a home imbued with the classic charm of a carefully preserved and thoughtfully updated early 20th-century home expanded to include many income-producing opportunities. Located just minutes to downtown Park Street, Nob Hill Foods and freeways, this one-of-a kind home is truly a vintage jewel.
