This week's selection of open houses for your weekend browsing pleasure are all within the Bernal Heights neighborhood.
Location: 5 Winfield
Size: 2-bed, 1.5-bath; unlisted square footage
Price: $749,000
Pitch: "Perched on the north slope of Bernal, 5 Winfield is a unique combination of an original 1904 cottage with a modern addition designed by Ross Levy in 2009."
Our Take: Lots of fancy and shiny finishes in this abode. The foyer and stairway have black bamboo flooring; there's a private south-facing deck with a hot tub and outdoor shower and the second bedroom has a roll-up glass door that's opened and closed with a remote.
Open House: Saturday and Sunday, 2 to 4pm
Location: 330 Prospect
Size: 2-bed, 2-bath; 1,050/sq-ft
Price: $929,000
Pitch: "Very special Arts & Crafts home on one of the best streets on the NW slope of Bernal. Close to all the shops and restaurants on Cortland and Mission."
Our Take: We're seriously digging the quirky and unusual floorplan for the main rooms. And while we like the color palette, we know olive green is not for everyone. The master suite with bathroom is on its own level, so that's a real plus.
Open House: Sunday, 2 to 4pm
Location: 243 Moultrie
Size: 4-bed, 1-bath; 1,500/sq-ft
Price: $948,000
Pitch: "This Victorian charmer delivers the best open living/dining/kitchen combination money can possibly buy in this price point! In addition there is a valuable in-law unit, garage with parking & abundant storage."
Our Take: Let's get the obvious out of the way: the interior paint job needs to go. As does the rooster image on the kitchen floor. That said, paint jobs are an inexpensive and easy cosmetic fix. Four bedrooms and one bathroom is troubling.
Open House: Sunday, 2 to 4pm
