The Record
160 Bernard Street is a house on a 1,381-square-foot lot in San Francisco, completed in 2019, with six bedrooms in all, a planted roof garden at the top and, the listing says, a private elevator to all five levels. The city's permit file shows the address assigned in April 2014 and the building completed on June 3, 2019.
Between those dates sits a new-construction permit for two dwelling units, filed in August 2014 and issued in January 2017. The architects are Jones Haydu, the San Francisco studio that Hulett Jones and Paul Haydu established in 2004, working with Julia Campbell. AIA San Francisco's 2024 home tour, held on Saturday, September 21, listed a Russian Hill house by that team on a site of 1,380 square feet, which is the lot area the county assessor holds for this parcel. The listing says the owners custom built the house and that it was featured on the San Francisco AIA Home Tour.
The House
The listing names terrazzo entry floors, wide-plank oak, radiant heat and a Miele kitchen. It counts three primary suites, a media room and an office, and two private decks, one of them north-facing by its account. The roof garden has a gas fire pit, and the listing says it has direct views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Palace of Fine Arts and the bay. A legal two-level ADU at street level has two bedrooms and opens to its own garden, and the garage takes two cars.
The Front
The last permit in the file is for the street front. Filed on July 10, 2024 and signed off on May 8, 2025, it covers ornamental metal panels and a gate at the facade. AIA San Francisco's tour page describes the front as decorative aluminum in a tartan pattern, a reference to the security gates common in San Francisco.
