Treat Retreat
Built in 1908, 1553 Treat Avenue is a three bedroom, two bathroom condo in a three-unit building located on a serene cul-de-sac in Bernal Heights’ desirable north slope. Sitting just off Precita Park, this Edwardian home merges classic charm with modern upgrades. It has vintage details such as hardwood floors, bay windows, high coved ceilings, and original built-ins. Upgrades include an expansive and open living/dining/kitchen area and updated bathrooms and lighting.
The first of three bedrooms has a bay window, spacious closet, and coved ceilings along with the softwood flooring found throughout the unit. The second bedroom is enhanced with built-in shelving flanking a decorative fireplace with an intricately carved mantel, and a large bay window. The master bedroom has a large closet and ensuite bathroom with shower over bathtub and a new vanity, sink, and mirror.
The second split bathroom has a claw foot tub, a large window, a new vanity, and custom built-in shelving. A high-ceilinged hallway leads to an open plan living room, dining room, and kitchen, which opens out to the deck with views of downtown, Potrero Hill, Bernal Hill, and the lush back garden. Overlooking trees and mature bamboo from the back windows, this home is perfect both for quiet evenings and entertaining.
