More Insights

Built in 1936 (90 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1936, this property has undergone an extensive and recent renovation, effectively making it 'virtually new' in terms of condition. The listing explicitly states 'new wide plank oak floors throughout,' a 'full electrical overhaul including complete removal of knob and tube, new service, new panel, and added outlets,' 'upgraded dual pane windows,' 'extensive seismic upgrades,' and 'modern Carrier HVAC with updated ductwork.' The roof is also noted as 'replaced in 2025,' indicating it's brand new or will be. The kitchen is 'renovated' with 'solid wood cabinetry, new counters and backsplash, under cabinet lighting, gas range with fully vented hood to exterior, and new appls by KitchenAid and Whirlpool,' which is confirmed by the modern, clean aesthetic and new stainless steel appliances in the images. Both bathrooms are 'fully updated' or 'remodeled' with modern fixtures, vanities, and finishes (micro cement walls/floors, fireclay tile, matte black fixtures), as clearly depicted in the images. All components meet current quality standards with no deferred maintenance visible or mentioned, justifying an 'excellent' rating.

About this home

Beautifully upgraded Spanish Med home on a quiet, tree lined one way Parkside block directly across from Pine Lake Park, where leafy green outlooks and morning light set the tone. Terracotta entry stairs with vintage decorative tile lead into a home that balances timeless charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Inside, new wide plank oak floors run throughout, grounding bright, south facing living spaces filled with natural light from a large picture window overlooking the park. A remote controlled gas FP anchors the LR, while all new recessed lighting and a full electrical overhaul including complete removal of knob and tube, new service, new panel, and added outlets bring peace of mind behind the scenes. The LR flows into a generous DR and a sun splashed central patio finished with vibrant patterned tile, drawing daylight deep into the heart of the home and connecting the DR, kitchen, and breakfast nook. All windows have been upgraded to dual pane units, improving comfort and quiet while preserving original detail at the front window. The renovated kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, new counters and backsplash, under cabinet lighting, gas range with fully vented hood to exterior, and new appls by KitchenAid and Whirlpool, plus a charming breakfast nook with statement lighting and patio views. The main BA is fully updated with soaking tub, full height shower, smooth micro cement walls and floors, new vanity, and modern fixtures. Two rear BDs offer calm garden outlooks, including a spacious primary with two large closets. Downstairs, a bonus third BD and remodeled second BA with fireclay tile, matte black fixtures, recessed lighting, and added outlets create flexible space for guests, work, or a secondary primary. Outside, a full size Parkside lot unfolds into a landscaped yard with terracotta tiled patio, propane FP, lawn area, and mature plantings for privacy. The garage reveals extensive seismic upgrades, modern Carrier HVAC with updated ductwork, a new electrical panel, and a roof replaced in 2025. A rare Parkside offering where character, comfort, and careful stewardship come together across from one of the neighborhood's most beloved green spaces.

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 & Park Views: Situated directly across from Pine Lake Park on a quiet, tree-lined block, offering desirable green outlooks and abundant morning light.
Extensive Modern Systems & Infrastructure: Features a comprehensive electrical overhaul (knob and tube removed, new service/panel), seismic upgrades, modern Carrier HVAC with updated ductwork, and dual-pane windows, ensuring peace of mind and comfort.
High-Quality Renovated Interiors: Boasts new wide plank oak floors, a fully renovated kitchen with new KitchenAid/Whirlpool appliances, and two updated bathrooms with modern fixtures and finishes, including a soaking tub.
Charming Architectural Blend: Successfully balances timeless Spanish Mediterranean character with thoughtful modern upgrades, including vintage decorative tile and a remote-controlled gas fireplace.
Desirable Outdoor & Flexible Living Spaces: Offers a sun-splashed central patio, a landscaped yard with a propane fire pit, and a versatile downstairs bonus third bedroom/second bath for various uses like guests or a home office.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1585, other record living area = 1220.
Compact Lot Size: At 2495.99 sqft, the lot is relatively small for a single-family home, which might limit expansion possibilities or appeal to buyers seeking larger outdoor spaces.
Unspecified Garage Capacity: While a garage is present and has seismic upgrades, its capacity (e.g., 1-car vs. 2-car) is not specified, which can be a significant factor for parking in San Francisco.
Potential Non-Conforming Bonus Space: The 'bonus third BD' downstairs, while flexible, may not meet full legal bedroom requirements (e.g., egress, ceiling height) typical of older San Francisco homes, potentially impacting appraisal or future resale.
