519 Garfield St, San Francisco, CA 94132
What This House Offers
A classic Merced Heights tunnel-entry home, available for lease with the rare combination of single-family privacy, real outdoor space, and two-car parking.
The main level sits above the street and opens into a bright, updated interior: two bedrooms, one fully renovated bathroom, and a newly remodeled kitchen with stone counters, gas range, dishwasher, and eat-in space.
Downstairs, a finished
bonus room offers flexible space for a home office, gym, or workshop. The attached garage fits two cars tandem-style, a genuine luxury in San Francisco, with additional storage throughout. A three-tiered garden unfolds across the nearly 2,200-square-foot lot, with the upper terrace catching views toward the Pacific and Marin — a great spot for morning coffee or evening unwinding.
Tucked into a quiet, tree-lined block in Merced Heights, the home is close to the Ocean Avenue and Mission Street corridor's shops and restaurants, with easy access to Balboa Park BART and a very walkable, very quiet neighborhood score. Ortega Elementary, Aptos Middle, and Lowell High School all serve the area.
