4 Milton St

Presiding from the coveted uptown Nelmar Terrace neighborhood, this circa 1924 residence has welcomed an interesting lineage of owners throughout its century of life. Over the years, skilled hands and discerning eyes have thoughtfully refined the home, preserving its original character while introducing updates that enrich modern living. Classic bungalow elements immediately catch your attention, from the inviting lines of the architecture to the generous front porch basking in southern light. From this perch, you can take in the tree-lined street with its graceful canopy of mature oaks and enjoy the easy camaraderie of neighbors who are proud to call this historic community their home. The current owners have invested tremendous care and attention into the property, enhancing its warmth, character, and sense of place. As they prepare to turn the page, they do so with the hope that its next owners will delight in this special house as much as they have. Come inside to discover a bright, flexible floorplan ready to adapt to your lifestyle. A dedicated office offers an ideal work-from-home setup or a quiet retreat for reading. The angled fireplace adds character, and with the addition of gas logs would be ready for those cooler winter evenings. Opposite the center hall, an expansive room awaits its transformation into a 1st-floor primary suite with the addition of an en-suite bath and closet. For now, it serves beautifully as a family room and an easy gathering space for hosting friends and guests. The kitchen provides an abundance of cabinetry and generous counter space, anchored by a Thermador wall oven, speed oven, separate cooktop, and a wide pass-through to the dining room. Open flow encourages easy conversation between kitchen, dining area and living room which span the width of the home and overlook the private backyard. 2 walls of windows fill this main gathering area with natural light, making it irresistibly cheerful even on a rainy day. Glass doors open to the patio, where morning coffee, al fresco meals, and evening drinks become daily rituals. The backyard is framed by a distinctive block wall reclaimed from the renovation of the Mission - a detail admired by everyone who visits. If a pool is on your wish list, there’s ample room to add one while still preserving generous green space for gardening. From the patio, you can access the garage, which houses the laundry area, storage, space for one car or a studio space. Nelmar Terrace is a truly special place - just ask the neighbors. Within a mile, you’ll find an array of cafés, local eateries, and cool shops along San Marco Avenue, our small-city Main Street. The historic Waterworks, only two blocks from your front door, hosts cultural events and community gatherings year-round. Welcome to a life where convenience, character, and community all come together.
