A Secret Retreat in the City

Tucked away at the peaceful rear of a handsome 1920s four-unit building, 1205 Oak St. #2 is a generously sized one-bedroom plus office that offers rare indoor-outdoor flow and a surprising sense of calm in the middle of the city.

The spacious living/dining area with south-facing light is framed by original hardwood floors and charming period details. From here, gaze out onto a lush and serene garden - an inviting, verdant backdrop that transforms daily life into something softer. Step directly outside for a cup of coffee, a glass of wine under the trees, or an evening soak in the clawfoot tub.

The large, updated kitchen has been modernized with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and room for a dining table, while the flexible den or office space creates a perfect spot for remote work or overflow for guests. The bedroom is generously sized and quiet, offering a true sense of retreat.

Additional conveniences include side-by-side garage parking, deeded storage, shared laundry and the security of extensive seismic upgrades completed in 2016.

Set in a well-maintained four-unit building at the nexus of Duboce, Alamo Square, NoPa and the Haight neighborhoods, this home is surrounded by some of the city’s best restaurants, markets, and cafés. Pop across the street to Falletti for groceries, grab cocktails at Horsefeather, and enjoy having Che Fico and Stoa just minutes away.
