Permits were filed earlier this month for a three-story single-family home with an attached additional dwelling unit located at 36 Nevada Street in San Francisco. The current site is a steeply sloped vacant parcel that backs directly up to the Bernal Heights Park. The building will be partially cut into the hillside, removing approximately 315 cubic yards of soil from the site.
The current proposal will rise three fully above-ground levels, with a partially exposed basement level. The property’s steep slope means that the basement will be mostly above grade at the southeast corner, and fully below ground for the northwest portion. The combined levels will total 2,723 square feet of enclosed space. With 2,045 square feet being occupied by the main house, and 678 square feet set aside for the ADU.
So far, only limited design information has been released, but initial massing renderings show a terraced building layout, making use of the property’s sloped position to offer sweeping views from the buildings front facing windows. Meanwhile, the rear of the building will include an outdoor patio with an exterior staircase and balcony.
The property is located in the Bernal Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. The modest two-unit total will add more housing to the location while remaining consistent with the neighborhood’s building style and density. The main house will have use of a single-car garage to support transportation needs, and additional street parking may be available. The site is also a short walk from the 67 Bus line, which will help support alternative transportation needs.
