It's hard to believe this charming cottage-like 1bd/1ba Russian Hill condo is only steps away from vibrant Polk Street shops and restaurants. Behind a security gate and down a garden walkway to a separate entrance, this two-story end unit at the rear of the building faces a lovingly maintained courtyard. A large Japanese maple tree provides privacy on both floors. Despite the calm, quiet surroundings, it's only a short walk to Leopold's, Real Foods, and Cole's Hardware -- everything you need is at your fingertips! Should you need to venture further, leased one-car parking large enough for a mid-size SUV is located one building away and several bus lines run within two blocks. Additional features including a well-appointed kitchen, in-unit laundry, ample closet and storage space, smart thermostat, tankless water heater, and vented hood ensure comfortable living in the heart of the City. Small and friendly HOA with only 5 units, low HOA dues. Additional storage space in shared basement.
