Overview

A storybook Craftsman on nearly a quarter acre.Set behind mature trees and a herringbone brick patio, this fully detached 1920s Storybook Craftsman sits on nearly a quarter acre a scale of land almost unheard of in the neighborhood. A cross-gabled roofline and recessed Craftsman entry announce a home with genuine period character. Inside, sunlight pours through banks of divided-light windows. The living room centers on a brick fireplace framed by built-in shelving, beneath original coved ceilings and crown molding, and opens to a formal dining room. The kitchen pairs updated cabinetry with stainless counters and a signature open shelf, leading directly to a generous rear deck built of weather-resistant Trex an easy-living space for morning coffee overlooking the treetops or entertaining friends into the evening. The home offers two bedrooms on separate levels, each with its own appeal. The main-level bedroom looks out over the garden below, waking to greenery and filtered light. Upstairs, a private bedroom is tucked beneath dormer angles and anchored by a generous walk-in closet a rare luxury in a home of this era. Two full baths include a spa-inspired retreat with a freestanding soaking tub, rainfall shower, and floor-to-ceiling tile. The showpiece is the setting. Spanning 9,583 square feet, the property is a true garden wonderland from the bounteous blueberries and citrus in the front yard to tiered beds in the back spilling over with fruit trees, perennials, and architectural succulents, all anchored by a vintage greenhouse trimmed in leaded and stained glass, a genuine work of art. An attached garage with laundry and storage completes the offering. Historic Ingleside Terraces was master-planned as a residence park'' of oversized, fully detached lots, laid out along the one-mile oval of the old Ingleside Racetrack. At 1,021 square feet on this extraordinary parcel, 885 Head Street is where vintage narrative and thoughtful updates align. Just up the street, the Ocean Avenue corridor delivers everyday convenience with real neighborhood character. Walkable neighborhood favorites like Charm Coffee and Java on Ocean sit alongside a full-service Whole Foods Market, with Ben Tre Vietnamese, Stonestown Galleria, and its weekly farmers market a short drive away. Muni light-rail and nearby I-280 make for an easy commute downtown or down the Peninsula city access with garden-quiet seclusion. Come see and fall in love.
