THE HOME

Built in 1907, this two-bedroom, two-bath Edwardian flat sits on Downey Street where Cole Valley meets Ashbury Heights. The residence occupies one unit of a three-home tenancy-in-common and has been updated with care: an open kitchen, living, and dining space preserves box-beam ceilings, wainscoting, and original built-in cabinetry while incorporating stainless appliances and an in-unit washer and dryer. The primary suite includes an ensuite bath. A private garden extends the living space outdoors, accessible directly from the dining room, and additional storage is included with the home.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

The Cole Valley–Ashbury Heights borderland offers a walk score of 90 and proximity to Buena Vista Park, The Panhandle, and the shops along Cole Street. Philz Coffee, Zazie, and Gus's market are all within walking distance. The N Judah line provides direct transit access, and Downtown San Francisco is 14 minutes by car or 22 minutes by public transport. Grattan Elementary sits two-tenths of a mile away, with a GreatSchools rating of 9. Twin Peaks and Corona Heights Park mark the western edge of the neighborhood's open space.

Walk Score®
Walker's Paradise

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.

ABOUT LUCAS
Lucas Lee
Lucas Lee
REALTOR® | SF Peninsula  ·  DRE #02251770

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!
