The home

Two homes under one roof

15 Shields Street is two homes under one roof: a main residence on the upper level and a legal unit on the ground floor, each with its own kitchen and bath. The whole property was remodeled in 2026, the work was signed off by the City with a Certificate of Final Completion, and it is completely vacant, so a buyer can move in, rent the unit, or house family downstairs from the day escrow closes.

The house sits on a promontory facing south, and the main level is organized around that view. The kitchen opens to the dining room, and at the back, doors from the bedrooms open onto a deck, where the view runs across the valley to the Pacific. Stairs go down from the deck to a flat yard, which is less common on this hillside than the view is.

Downstairs, the ground-floor unit has a bedroom, a second room set up as a living room, a full kitchen and a bath, and it opens directly to the yard. At the far end of the yard are a built-in grill station and a detached shed. The shed is set up as a small studio today, and it works just as well for hobbies or storage.

Remodeled from the systems out in 2026, delivered vacant, with a legal ground-floor unit and a flat rear yard.

Location

Ingleside Heights, San Francisco

Ingleside Heights is a quiet residential neighborhood in the southwest of the city, built on the hills that rise above Ocean Avenue, and it is the hills that give houses like this one their views. Brooks Park, one of the city's smaller hilltop parks, is close by, and the shops and restaurants along Ocean Avenue are a short trip down the hill.

For the rest of daily life, Stonestown Galleria, San Francisco State University and the Balboa Park BART station are each a short drive away.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the list price for 15 Shields Street?
15 Shields Street is offered at $1,345,000. The price was published here first, ahead of the MLS and the national sites.
When can I see 15 Shields Street?
At any of the open houses in the schedule above, including the Thursday twilight tour, or privately: request a private showing and I will set one up. Agents can preview it at the broker tour on Tuesday, October 6, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. Buyers working with an agent are welcome to have their agent contact me directly.
Is there an offer date?
Not yet. When the offer date is set, it will be posted on this page before anywhere else, so check back here or request the disclosure package and you will hear about it directly.
What does a legal ground-floor unit mean for a buyer?
The unit is a permitted, separate dwelling with its own kitchen and bath, not an informal in-law space. That gives a buyer real flexibility: rental income, a place for extended family, or room for a household to grow into. How San Francisco's rent ordinance would apply to a future tenancy depends on the specifics, so buyers who plan to rent the unit should confirm the details with their own advisor.
Who is the listing agent for 15 Shields Street?
15 Shields Street is listed by Oliver Burgelman, Broker Associate at Vanguard Properties (DRE #01388135), with 23+ years of experience and over $350M closed across San Francisco and Marin. Reach him at (415) 244-5846.
What is it like to live in Ingleside Heights?
Residential and quiet, with hillside streets, views on the south-facing blocks, and Ocean Avenue close by for errands and dinner. See the Ingleside neighborhood guide for more.
