Located on Porter Street in the sunny southeast part of San Francisco, this former Carriage House has a colorful past. Once a Speakeasy during Prohibition, it was later purchased and remodeled by a Merchant Marine who lovingly created an atmosphere reminiscent of a ship.
No cable cars, rail lines, trains, fire stations or other noise making machinery are nearby, making this a quiet location in a bustling city. There is plenty of street parking in this area, no permits required and no restrictions on length of stay, once you park your car.
Two apartments are available for rent: Crows Nest & Captain's Quarter
CROWS NEST - SAN FRANCISCO APARTMENT
This upper level junior one bedroom San Francisco apartment has individually hand-crafted woodwork throughout. The beautiful workmanship is carried through the entire unit, creating a nautical ambiance. Soak yourself at the end of the day in the deep antique claw foot tub. Or, cook yourself a warm meal as you look out over the rooftops of this quaint area. There is more closet and cupboard space than you will be able to fill and plenty of light pouring in from the east and west facing windows. Additional sleeping accommodations are available by way of a futon couch in the living room. The apartment also has many antiques and new furnishings.
CAPTAIN’S QUARTERS - SAN FRANCISCO APARTMENT
This cozy bottom level studio apartment boasts new hardwood floors, a built in "captain’s bunk" and plenty of storage space. The bathroom has been completely remodeled with glass brick, tile and marble, allowing light to filter in. The newly renovated kitchen opens up to the living room and allows you to chat with your partner or guests as you prepare meals. The kitchen window looks out east upon a lovely garden and light filters through from both east and west facing windows. A sofa bed makes an extra sleeping space if you need one. There is no shortage of closet and cupboard space in this unit. Antiques and new furnishings are found throughout the apartment.
Excellent nearby public transportation makes this ideal for those who are reluctant to drive the steep hills and one-way streets of San Francisco. The #23 bus line is a few doors down and will take you to either Mission Street or the Glen Park BART Station. The Carriage House is located a 10 minute walk from Mission Street where there are buses to downtown where you can connect to just about any part of the city.
Bernal Height’s main shopping district, Cortland Avenue, is four blocks away and contains numerous shops, restaurants, video stores, grocery stores, deli’s, laundromat, bank, bars, library and much more. Be sure to take a walk down Cortland and enjoy all this busy street has to offer.
The Farmer’s Market is held on Saturdays, just down the hill - farmers from the central valley come to sell their produce, flowers, herbs, chickens, seafood, honey, nuts and breads. Arrive early to buy the freshest ingredients!
