35 Ventura Avenue, San Francisco

Tucked behind an unassuming façade on one of Forest Hill’s most coveted blocks, this Spanish Mediterranean feels like a private retreat the minute you walk in. Beautifully maintained, with real architectural character and modern comfort throughout.

Main level: The formal living room with fireplace anchors the floor plan. The dining room, with its second fireplace and exposed wood beams, opens to a private deck — perfect for intimate dinners or easy entertaining. The chef’s kitchen has a generous island and top-tier appliances, with leafy hillside views. Two bedrooms and a spacious bath complete the level: a front bedroom with a classic bay window, and a serene en-suite bedroom with its own deck and generous closet.

Downstairs: A secluded bedroom suite with a sitting area, walk-in closet, and a newly renovated bath with a steam shower.

Outside: The huge, Bali-inspired backyard is the star — mature landscaping, total privacy, a charming gazebo and firepit. Indoor/outdoor living at its best.

The practical stuff: Two-car garage, plenty of driveway parking, an elevated storage room/office at the back of the garage, a separate rear shed/workshop, and storage everywhere.

Turnkey, private, and wonderfully quiet — a rare Forest Hill find where old-world charm, modern comfort, and an incredible garden come together. Let’s chat about a private showing!
