Light and location set the tone at 708 21st Avenue, a top-floor corner condo in the Central Richmond, two blocks from Golden Gate Park. The 1,114-square-foot home offers two bedrooms, one bath, separate living and formal dining rooms, and private garage parking. Original windows welcome light from two sides, with afternoon sun giving way to pink evening skies. Set within a four-unit building dating to 1920, the home offers a classic San Francisco layout with separate living and formal dining rooms. There's space to settle in with a book, host dinner with friends, and feel right at home. The updated kitchen features Shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and a dishwasher, with an in-unit washer and dryer tucked nearby. Both bedrooms, one with a walk-in closet, and an updated full bathroom sit apart from the living space. A private garage provides additional convenience. The building is well cared for and recently completed roof resurface and fresh exterior paint. Balboa Street is nearby, with cafs, restaurants, and vintage shops that invite you to get to know your neighbors. Pick up coffee at The Coffee Movement, meet friends for dinner at Han Il Kwan, or head to Golden Gate Park for a walk, with the de Young and California Academy of Sciences farther into the park. The 5 Fulton and 31 Balboa offer connections across town, and Ocean Beach is a straight shot west for an afternoon by the water. HOA: $484/mo
