A Private Retreat in the Heart of It All

Unit 209 is a two-level condominium tucked at the rear of the building, where the energy of one of San Francisco's most vibrant neighborhoods gives way to surprising calm. You enter through the landscaped courtyard with mature trees, arriving at your own front door removed from the bustle of 19th and Valencia. The main level opens into an open floor plan with windows on three sides of the living and dining areas, with oversized Bonelli windows framing the tranquil courtyard. White oak floors run throughout, anchoring a seamless flow from living and dining areas to a private west-facing terrace.

The kitchen is built for serious cooking and effortless entertaining, centered on a stunning honed marble island with bar seating and outfitted with integrated Miele appliances and Boffi cabinetry. An in-wall gas fireplace, powder room with floating vanity, and laundry closet complete the main level.

The upper level is designed around comfort and privacy: two generous bedrooms, each with en-suite baths. The serene primary suite faces west and features two large closets and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with shower, radiant in-floor heat, floating vanity, and Duravit fixtures. The second en-suite bedroom overlooks the courtyard and features a shower over tub.

European Craftsmanship Throughout

Every finish in this home was selected from leading European design houses, creating a cohesive material palette rarely found in buildings this size.

Boutique by Design

Completed in 2013 by Sternberg Benjamin Architects, 3500 19th Street is a 17-residence mixed-use LEED accredited building at the prominent corner of 19th and Valencia. The firm brings over 36 years of experience in multi-family architecture across the Bay Area, and principal David Sternberg has served on San Francisco's Building Codes Advisory Committee — a distinction that speaks to the caliber of design and construction here.

Every residence is configured as a two-level home — no studios, no one-bedrooms — giving the building a consistent sense of an owner-occupied community. Elevator access, secured entry, and a garage with parking round out daily convenience.

3,000 Sq Ft of Shared Green Space

The interior courtyard was designed by Munden Fry Landscape Associates — the same firm behind the landscapes at 181 Fremont, the Pinterest Mews, and Arterra. At 3,000 square feet, it serves as a genuine communal outdoor room: lush, professionally maintained, and a quiet buffer between your home and the city beyond. Visible from Unit 209's living area and private terrace, it fundamentally shapes the sense of retreat that defines day-to-day living here.

Everything at Your Door — Peace Behind It

Mission Dolores delivers one of San Francisco's most walkable, bikeable, and connected lifestyles — and this home gives you all of it with a quiet place to come back to. Dolores Park is two flat blocks away — sunsets, skyline views, and weekend picnics year-round. Valencia Street's celebrated dining scene is steps from your door, from James Beard–recognized kitchens to beloved neighborhood cafés, bakeries, and bars.

BART and Muni are moments away, tech shuttles run nearby, and a car is truly optional.
