More Insights
Condition: The property is move-in ready and well-maintained, featuring recent updates in several bathrooms that meet modern standards. The kitchen, while clean and functional with good stainless steel appliances, has cabinet and countertop styles that appear to be from an earlier renovation (likely 15-25 years ago), preventing an 'Excellent' rating. The overall condition, including flooring, paint, and the addition of a paid solar system, indicates a property that has been regularly updated and is in very good shape, aligning with the 'Good' criteria of being extensively renovated within 5 to 15 years for key components and being move-in ready without immediate renovation needs.

About this home
Located in the coveted Presidio Heights neighborhood, across from Presidio Terrace and moments from the expansive open spaces of the Presidio, this gracious single-family home offers a rare combination of classic architectural details, generous scale, and flexible living. The dramatic foyer welcomes you inside, with a grand, exquisitely curved staircase that anchors the home. The conversion from two units to a single family in the 1990's, along with kitchen and bathroom renovations over the years, sets the tone for the home's timeless character. Designed for both memorable gatherings and every day living, the main level includes a formal living room and an elegant dining room, complemented by a centrally located kitchen with additional, informal dining. From here, the home flows seamlessly into a spacious family/media room, with a full bath and a separate music room/office, all opening onto a three-tiered deck, creating a relaxed and inviting indoor-outdoor experience. The upper-level features five proportioned bedrooms and three full baths - an uncommon and highly desirable layout. Additional highlights include a paid solar system, and a two-car tandem garage with work benches and storage. The home is move-in ready, while also offering the opportunity to personalize and enhance over time. This is an exceptional location close to Presidio trails, golf, tennis, and biking, with easy access to Marin via the Golden Gate Bridge, as well as the vibrant shops and dining destinations of Laurel Village, Sacramento and Clement Streets.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Chinese Immersion School At Deavila (9/10). Middle School: Lilienthal (Claire) Elementary School (9/10). High School: Lowell High School (10/10).
Prime Location: Situated in the highly coveted Presidio Heights neighborhood, directly across from Presidio Terrace and offering immediate access to the expansive Presidio, trails, golf, tennis, and biking. It also provides easy access to Marin via the Golden Gate Bridge and proximity to vibrant local shops and dining.
Spacious & Flexible Layout: This home boasts a generous scale with 5 well-proportioned bedrooms and 5 full baths, an uncommon and highly desirable layout. It includes formal living and dining rooms, a centrally located kitchen with informal dining, a spacious family/media room, and a separate music room/office, catering to diverse living needs.
Classic Charm with Modern Updates: The property retains classic architectural details, such as a grand, exquisitely curved staircase, while benefiting from a conversion to a single-family home in the 1990s and subsequent kitchen and bathroom renovations, offering a blend of timeless character and functional updates.
Excellent Indoor-Outdoor Flow: Designed for both memorable gatherings and everyday living, the main level seamlessly extends to a three-tiered deck, creating a relaxed and inviting indoor-outdoor experience.
Valuable Practical Amenities: Additional highlights include a paid solar system, contributing to energy efficiency and lower utility costs, and a two-car tandem garage equipped with workbenches and ample storage.
Cons
Low Available Lot Utilization: The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 3025, living area = 4106.
Potential for Further Modernization: While renovations have occurred 'over the years,' the description also notes an 'opportunity to personalize and enhance over time,' suggesting that some areas, particularly kitchens and bathrooms, may not be to the latest luxury standards and could benefit from further investment to meet contemporary tastes.
Tandem Garage Configuration: The two-car garage is tandem, which, while providing parking for two vehicles, can be less convenient for daily access compared to a side-by-side parking arrangement.
Absence of Explicitly Stated Cutting-Edge Amenities: The property description does not explicitly mention advanced modern amenities such as central air conditioning (though less common in San Francisco), or integrated smart home technology, which some high-end buyers might expect in a luxury residence.
