290 Santa Rosa Avenue

A New Chapter for a Cherished San Francisco Home

Welcome home to 290 Santa Rosa Avenue — a beautifully reimagined Spanish Mediterranean gem in the heart of Mission Terrace, cherished by the same family for more than 50 years and now ready to welcome its next chapter.

After an accidental fire in spring 2025, this home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt with care, giving you the rare best of both worlds: the timeless architectural charm San Francisco buyers love, paired with the comfort, quality, and peace of mind of a virtually new home. That rebuild means more than fresh finishes — it means new HVAC throughout, double-pane windows, new insulation, and all-new electrical, plumbing, and lighting systems, so everything behind the walls is as thoughtfully renovated as everything you can see.

Step inside and you'll find 3 bedrooms and 1.5 beautifully renovated bathrooms, anchored by a stunning chef's kitchen with abundant counter space and brand-new stainless-steel appliances — a space made for everything from quiet mornings to lively dinner parties. Thoughtful design and contemporary finishes flow throughout, honoring the home's original character while feeling entirely fresh.

Downstairs, a newly renovated 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom in-law suite opens directly onto the rear garden — ready to become an income-generating rental, a private retreat for extended family and guests, or the work-from-home office you've been dreaming of. The possibilities here are as flexible as your life demands.

Outside, a set-back front parking space keeps daily life simple, while the private rear garden offers your own outdoor escape in the middle of the city. Together, the flexible floor plan and generous living spaces make 290 Santa Rosa a rare blend of comfort, function, and unmistakable San Francisco character.

After more than five decades in one family's loving care, this home has been given a remarkable second beginning — rebuilt from the studs, thoughtfully renovated inside and out, and ready to be discovered. Come see it for yourself, and imagine the memories still to be made.

Back in the roaring 20s, the former broccoli farms of Mission Terrace were some of the hottest and most affordable spots to live in San Francisco. In that regard, not much has changed! The neighborhood is still bustling with families old and new, with many schools within walking distance from anywhere in the valley. Hidden gems, like small family-owned shops, restaurants, and businesses dot the roadways, and you’d be hard-pressed to visit the area without seeing somebody getting their cardio in on the picturesque streets that seem to beg you to explore! By design, Mission Terrace was and continues to be one of the most comfortable places in the Bay Area to call home.
