Sunny, surprising, and serene, 1221 San Bruno is an updated 3-bed, 2-bath Victorian in one of San Francisco's sunniest pockets between the Mission and Potrero, with excellent access to 101 and 280. The home blends historic character 11-foot ceilings, elegant millwork, and Victorian proportions with modern upgrades, including a reinforced foundation, updated systems, and thoughtfully appointed kitchen. Quiet inside thanks to double-pane windows and its off-street perch, the home feels larger than its footprint, maximizing functionality + light. The primary suite offers a tall walk-in closet, spa-like en suite bath with walk-in shower and a Japanese-style Toto toilet. There's also direct yard access via exterior spiral stairs. A second bathroom is anchored by a claw-foot tub and modern fittings that highlight its architectural details, while the kitchen showcases stainless Bosch appliances. The legal-height lower level holds potential with concept plans + infrastructure for an additional bedroom, living room and kitchenette. For now, it serves as a gym, storage, laundry, and 2-car parking with EV charging. Out back, the sunny yard offers a serene retreat. Designed with quality and livability in mind, 1221 is ready for you to live your best and sunniest San Francisco life.
