    DESCRIPTION

    This classically styled Edwardian home is ideally located in the desirable Inner Richmond neighborhood just a block and a half from Lake Street, where wide sidewalks are dotted with mature trees and “turn-of-the-century” architecture lines the streets — the perfect spot for a morning jog or evening stroll. Just moments away, the Presidio envelops you in a lush verdant setting with access gained through the nearby stepped entrance to Mountain Lake Park — the neighborhood’s featured attraction with its old trees, playground, tennis courts, and walking paths. To the east, California Street provides a direct thoroughfare to the heart of San Francisco. Eight blocks to the south, an entrance to Golden Gate Park presents the new de Young Museum, the Academy of Sciences, and a toddler’s playground. Topping off this convenient location is Highway 1, just short blocks away, for easy access to the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin County or south to Silicon Valley and the San Francisco International Airport.
