15 Shields Street
A remodeled hillside home with a legal ground-floor unit and views across the valley to the Pacific.
A remodeled home with a legal unit
15 Shields Street is a home with a legal unit: the main residence is on the upper level, and a legal one-bedroom unit with its own kitchen and bath is on the ground floor. The whole property was remodeled in 2026, the work was signed off by the City with a Certificate of Final Completion, and it was delivered vacant.
The home 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.

Merced Heights, San Francisco
Merced Heights is a quiet residential neighborhood in the southwest of the city, a hilltop pocket between Ingleside and Oceanview, and it is the hill that gives homes 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.
