Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1969, the property appears to be in mostly original condition. The kitchen and bathrooms feature cabinetry, tile, and fixtures that are over 50 years old. While the home is well-kept, the age of the systems and the highly dated interior require a full rehab to meet modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 19475, living area = 1518.
The property features a massive 19,475-square-foot parcel in the prestigious Bay-O-Vista neighborhood, offering rare privacy, natural wildlife sightings, and a serene connection to the landscape.
Strategically positioned to capture glimpses of the San Francisco skyline and evening city lights, the home’s expansive picture windows maximize its elevated geographic advantage.
With only two bedrooms, the home may face a smaller buyer pool, particularly among families or professionals seeking dedicated guest rooms and home office spaces.
The significant natural slope of the nearly half-acre lot may limit the amount of flat, usable outdoor space for traditional backyard activities and could increase future landscaping or expansion costs.
No exterior & parking available.
