260 Downey St, San Francisco, CA 94117
Built in 1907, this two-bedroom, two-bath Edwardian flat occupies a tenancy-in-common position in an intimate three-unit building on Downey Street, where Cole Valley meets Ashbury Heights. The home was remodeled to preserve original box-beam ceilings, wainscoting, and built-in cabinetry while introducing an open kitchen, living, and dining layout with high-end stainless steel appliances and a full-size stacked washer and dryer. The primary suite includes an ensuite bath. The dining room opens to an exclusive-use garden, landscaped for seamless indoor-outdoor use. Additional private storage is included. The address sits moments from Buena Vista Park and the shops and cafés of Cole Street.
This stretch of Downey Street enjoys a Walk Score of 90, placing Philz Coffee, Whole Foods, and Gus's within easy reach on foot. The N Judah runs a block away.

Walk Score® rates an address from 0–100 by how easily everyday errands — groceries, coffee, dining, school pickup — can be done on foot. 50+ means some errands can be walked, 70+ means most can, and 90+ is a rare walker's paradise. Transit and Bike scores read the same way for public transportation and cycling.

Lucas Lee, a Bay Area native who was born in San Francisco, has lived here his entire life. He grew up in Belmont CA, and him being here throughout his entire life has given him an in-depth understanding of the competitive Bay Area real estate market. Because he’s so familiar with the Bay Area, he brings a lot of value to the table with insight on neighborhoods, nearby amenities, school districts, and how a community operates. This background and knowledge allows clients to make informed decisions that will put them in a great position when buying or selling a home.
A factor that sets Lucas apart from every other Real Estate agent is that he got his degree in Real Estate from the University of Washington. The in-depth knowledge sets him apart and shows his passion, commitment, and difference in the field. Through his studies, he was able to build a strong foundation in property valuation, market analysis and dynamics, negotiation, and knowledge about all real estate transactions. The real estate profession didn’t begin through college though; his Auntie has been a lifelong real estate agent, and being able to see what goes on behind the scenes inspired him to become a professional himself.
In Lucas’ free time, you can see him at the Bay Club lifting weights and playing basketball. He brings the same energy to his clients as he does through hobbies; he brings a competitive edge and results driven approach. He also loves trying new restaurants and desserts with his partner!
