Forest Knolls
Located in Forest Knolls, this expansive 2,543+/- square foot single-family home commands a bright corner lot location, making it a standout in this planned neighborhood development. Built in 1979, the residence offers four bedrooms, two full baths, and two half baths across three levels, all connected by a convenient elevator.
Featuring a highly livable and functional design, the main floor offers a large kitchen with new stainless appliances, a sunken living room with newer heated limestone flooring and a gas fireplace, a family room, and a deck. Upstairs, three bedrooms and two baths include a primary suite, while the lower level includes a two-car garage, a fourth bedroom with a half bath, and access to a garden with a hot tub.
Enter the house into a tiled foyer, then head up a few steps on the left to the main living level. A spacious, modern kitchen sits to the left, outfitted with brand-new stainless-steel appliances, and ample cabinetry.
A generous breakfast bar seamlessly connects the kitchen to the dining area with a new chandelier and bright windows, creating a fluid and open living space. Around the corner from the kitchen is a hall with a large closet on the left leading to a well-appointed powder room.
Opposite the kitchen and dining area, on the south-facing side of the house, step down into a large sunken living room. This stylish living area features newer limestone tile flooring with radiant heat, a gas fireplace, and a library book nook. Expansive south and west-facing windows here flood the space with sunlight, while a sliding door opens onto a Trex deck that flanks the rear of this level. To the right of the living room, a large family room offers additional living space.
Head upstairs via the stairwell or the elevator in the living room to find three private bedroom retreats. The first bedroom features north-facing windows, a peaked ceiling, plantation shutters, and a deep walk-in closet. The second bedroom offers a double-door closet and north-facing windows. Adjacent to the bedrooms a shared bath includes a vanity with a sink, while a separate room houses a shower-over-tub and toilet.
At the end of the hall a large expansive primary suite includes south-facing windows, a large ceiling fan, and a walk-in closet. The ensuite bathroom features a double vanity, a separate glass-enclosed shower, a soaking tub, and a private toilet room. The elevator door is located in the primary bedroom, offering easy access to other levels. A laundry chute is also conveniently located inside the closet.
Head down to the garage level via stairs or the elevator to the garden/garage level. Here a large two car garage includes built-in storage shelves, and laundry area with washer and dryer. At the rear of the garage find a fourth bedroom with full sized closet, adjacent half bath and elevator. The garden level bedroom leads outside to a rear garden with hot tub and decking.
Step outside and you are in peaceful Forest Knolls, a quiet residential neighborhood on the southwestern slope of Mount Sutro, just minutes from the UCSF campus, Golden Gate Park, and West Portal. With leafy surroundings, this area offers a tranquil retreat while providing fantastic access to San Francisco's vibrant shopping and coveted green spaces.
HOA fees: $340/month which includes water, common area electricity, landscaping, maintenance of the roadway, professional management, and reserves.

Neighborhood

Tucked away on the southwestern slopes of Mount Sutro, Forest Knolls offers a unique San Francisco living experience that combines convenience with a serene, woodland atmosphere. This intimate residential area provides a refreshing departure from the city's dense urban grid.
Forest Knolls is distinguished by its distinctive topography and natural setting. Winding streets follow Mount Sutro's steep terrain, creating a landscape of hillside homes surrounded by greenery. The neighborhood is bounded by Warren Drive to the south and west, Mount Sutro to the north, and Midtown Terrace to the east.
Architecture primarily features fully detached homes built during the mid-20th century, many positioned to capture sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay or Pacific Ocean. The elevated position rewards residents with spectacular vistas that transform with the changing light and fog patterns.
Nature enthusiasts appreciate Forest Knolls' proximity to multiple recreational areas. The trails of Mount Sutro and Mount Davidson provide woodland hiking, while nearby Twin Peaks and Tank Hill offer panoramic city views. This abundance of natural space creates a tranquil atmosphere often described as reminiscent of Marin County.
Despite its secluded feel, Forest Knolls offers convenient access to urban amenities. The charming West Portal shopping district is nearby, and the neighborhood's proximity to UCSF's main campus makes it particularly attractive to medical professionals and academics.
