Welcome to 700 Ellsworth Street

Welcome to this fabulous contemporary home located on the northern/eastern slope of Bernal Heights. Extensively remodeled in 2020 and filled with designer touches, the home features a striking Ipe-wood façade, three skylights, beautiful wide-plank wood floors, and numerous windows that bathe the interior in natural light.

Originally remodeled and configured as a four-bedroom home, the upper level was thoughtfully reimagined by the current owners. By opening part of the wall of one of the bedrooms and adding a bar-height counter with seating, they transformed the space into a generous dining or family room that flows seamlessly into the kitchen. Large sliding doors open to an Ipe-finished patio, creating an effortless indoor–outdoor connection ideal for everyday living and weekend gatherings.

The skylight illuminates the modern kitchen, creating an open and inviting atmosphere. A long continuous counter run provides excellent prep space, while sleek white custom cabinetry, a dramatic Italian quartz backsplash, warm floating wood shelves, and a full suite of stainless-steel appliances—including an induction range and remote-controlled Zephyr ceiling hood—combine to deliver a beautifully balanced blend of style and functionality.

The living room features a custom recessed media wall with an integrated electric fireplace, establishing a sleek modern focal point that adds both warmth and architectural interest. Two bedrooms and a guest bath featuring a sleek, frameless glass shower with glossy gray subway tile and a recessed niche for a clean, modern look, creating a fresh, spa-inspired feel completes this level.

On the main level, the expansive primary suite feels like a true retreat, offering space for a king-size bed, a sitting area, or even a small workspace. A beautifully designed storage wall provides a mix of custom closets and open shelving, creating a boutique-style dressing area with abundant room for clothing, accessories, and display. Natural light filters through well-placed windows, with automatic shades—three of them featuring privacy film—enhancing the serene atmosphere throughout the day. The luxurious primary bath features a spacious shower, a wide single basin sink, with dual faucets, and a soaking tub. A glass door leads directly from the suite to the backyard. This level also offers a generous one-car garage with stacked washer and dryer, a utility sink, and a storage closet.

Located just three blocks from the heart of Cortland Avenue, the home enjoys easy access to neighborhood favorites such as Progressive Grounds, independent boutiques, and the Good Life Grocery. The historic Alemany Farmers Market is also nearby, offering fresh local produce every Saturday. Commuting is effortless with close proximity to US-101, I-280, and multiple Mission Street transit options.

Bernal Heights

One of the best things about Bernal Heights is the community feel you get as you walk through. People look you in the eye and say hello as you pass them by, there’s a deep pride around keeping the neighborhood safe, and who can complain about being able to choose from five different types of ethnic foods within a three-block radius?

Bernal Heights and Holly Park, are beloved places for dog walkers. At the foot of Bernal Heights, Precita Park offers a playground and large expanse of mown grass for families with young children to romp around. Bounded by Mission Street to the west, Cesar Chavez Street to the north, Bayshore and Highway 280 to the east, Crescent Avenue to the south, this special neighborhood is located just south of the Mission District. The neighborhood is accessed by numerous Muni bus lines, and a BART station at 24th and Mission is within walking distance from some portions of the neighborhood.

The retail center of Bernal Heights can be found along Cortland Street. Small, funky, one-of-a-kind boutiques, bookstores, and gift shops are interspersed with ethnic restaurants that range from French to Nepalese to Salvadoran. Local bars include neighborhood favorite El Rio, which hosts live music, Wild Side West and its fireplace, and the down-home The Lucky Horseshoe.

If you’ve never been to Bernal Hill, you’re just plain crazy as it offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the entire city, including the Golden Gate Bridge, downtown, San Bruno Mountain, and the East Bay. Here you’ll meet the sun even when Twin Peaks is covered in fog. Streets and paths from all sides of Bernal Heights lead to this urban oasis, and although the hike up can feel treacherous at times, the gift you get at the top is worth it. It’s a great spot to get romantic, athletic, or meditative, especially on those afternoons when you want to escape the city without having to drive an hour north.
