256 MULLEN AVE

Set into the North Slope of Bernal Heights, this charming duplex is a study in dual purpose: a residence to inhabit and an income property to hold, each preserved on its own terms. Spread across three floors, the owner's unit unfolds toward its defining feature, a roof deck with panoramic views across the city and the Bay.

The owner's quarters are a 2 bed/1 bath arrangement organized around daily ease. A small eat-in kitchen opens to the rhythm of the home, while a small rear patio offers space for grilling and gardening. Tucked into the back of the property, the unit includes a bonus space with private entrance, two genuinely flexible rooms, full bathroom, laundry, and access to the home's mechanicals.

The front unit retains its Victorian-era pedigree, with original hardwoods, ceiling rosettes, and decorative moldings carried intact into the present. A 2 bed/1 bath layout, it pairs that heritage with an updated kitchen and a newly remodeled bathroom, a formal dining room, and a living room framing views across the valley toward downtown. It is currently leased at market rate.

The home's systems have been brought fully current. Each of the spaces carries its own newly updated water heater and laundry, complemented by solar, a two-car garage with EV charger, and generous storage throughout. Moments from Precita Park, Bernal Heights Park, and the Bernal Heights Dog Park, the residence opens onto a daily landscape of walks and elevated views, set on a tree-lined block whose neighbors gather for block parties twice a year, with direct access to freeways and transit.
