Overview

Welcome to 1729 Bancroft Street, a one-of-a-kind South Park property where 1920s Craftsman character, thoughtful modern updates, and an incredible indoor-outdoor lifestyle come together. Extra 500sqft space for possible ADU options. NEW SEWER LINING. 17 PAID SOLAR PANELS. Home built in 1924 and recently refreshed from top to bottom, this 3-bedroom home proves that great design isn't measured in square footage. Every part of this property has been thoughtfully utilized, creating a home that feels far more expansive than its footprint suggests. Behind the original Craftsman front door, the freshly painted interior is bright, inviting, and full of character. The living room centers around a cozy wood-burning fireplace with gas starter, while new lighting and updated finishes throughout give the home a fresh, modern feel without losing its vintage personality. The completely new kitchen pairs clean contemporary design with highly functional details, including white soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, matte black hardware and fixtures, a black granite-composite under-mount workstation sink with cutting board, colander and drying rack, and an all-new stainless steel appliance suite. The remodeled full bathroom is equally distinctive, featuring a custom raised-platform soaking tub, separate shower, bidet toilet, and unique finishes that give the space a boutique feel. But this property has another surprise. Beyond the main house sits an approximately 500-square-foot detached garage-possible ADU options- OR presently transformed into an extraordinary flex and entertaining space. Soaring ceilings and two oversized skylights fill the room with natural light, while a dramatic retro-modern kitchen features glossy red cabinetry, white quartz countertops and wraparound bar seating for approximately 10. The space also includes a full bathroom, new LVP flooring, dishwasher, and a motorized retractable roll-up garage door. Previously used by the owner for cooking classes, gatherings and events, it's a space you simply don't expect to find—and one that opens the door to countless creative possibilities. Outside, the property becomes its own little urban retreat. Mature palms, tropical plantings, established trees, new artificial turf and charming hardscape create a private, almost storybook-like setting. In front, hard-wired landscape lighting dramatically illuminates the palms and lush landscaping after sunset, giving the home exceptional nighttime curb appeal. A long driveway provides additional off-street parking, while 17 owned solar panels add another valuable feature. And then there's the location. Set in the heart of South Park, you're close to neighborhood institutions like Big Kitchen and Whistle Stop, along with local coffee shops, restaurants and neighborhood favorites. Balboa Park Golf Course, Balboa Park and the world-renowned San Diego Zoo are nearby, with Downtown, Petco Park, the Gaslamp Quarter and Coronado just beyond. When the coast is calling, San Diego's beaches are only a short drive away. Charming. Creative. Unexpected. Quintessentially South Park. 1729 Bancroft Street is a 1924 classic reimagined for today—and a property that needs to be experienced to fully appreciate just how special it is.
