More Insights
Built in 1940 (86 years old).
Condition: Built in 1940 and lovingly maintained, the property is clean and functional. However, the kitchen features dated beadboard cabinets, older countertops, and linoleum flooring, despite some newer stainless steel appliances. The main bathroom is distinctly vintage with its pink/beige fixtures and tiles. While the home is well-kept and move-in ready, these key areas show significant signs of being outdated and would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet modern buyer expectations, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.

About this home
Offered for the first time, this lovingly cared-for home has been in the same family since the 1940s. A classic center-patio floor plan delivers beautiful natural light and an ideal Sunset layout: A bright living room with high ceilings and a corner fireplace, plus a separate formal dining room overlooking the patio. The spacious kitchen features a dedicated cozy breakfast room. The main level features two bedrooms (including an oversized primary) and one full bathroom (with a separate tub and stall shower). Downstairs offers flexible bonus space with a full bath, ideal as a third bedroom, home office, or guest suite. A huge, high-ceiling garage provides abundant room for 2+ cars, workshop, storage, and laundry with potential for future expansion. The backyard is picture-perfect with a patio and a deep garden area featuring mature trees and planting beds. Unbeatable location just a half block to Noriega Street shops, restaurants, and Muni, with easy access to tech buses on 19th Ave and major freeways.

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: Unbeatable location just a half block to Noriega Street shops, restaurants, and Muni, with easy access to tech buses on 19th Ave and major freeways, offering exceptional convenience.
Flexible Bonus Space & Expansion Potential: The downstairs offers versatile bonus space with a full bath, ideal as a third bedroom, home office, or guest suite, and a huge garage provides significant room for expansion.
Charming Original Features & Natural Light: A classic center-patio floor plan ensures beautiful natural light, complemented by a bright living room with high ceilings and a corner fireplace, adding character and appeal.
Well-Maintained & Family Legacy: This home has been lovingly cared for by the same family since the 1940s, suggesting a well-preserved property with a strong foundation and history.
Attractive Outdoor Space: The property boasts a picture-perfect backyard with a patio and a deep garden area featuring mature trees and planting beds, providing a desirable private outdoor retreat.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1519, other record living area = 1420.
Potential for Dated Interiors & Systems: Having been in the same family since the 1940s, the home likely retains original or older finishes and systems (kitchen, main bathroom, electrical, plumbing) that may require significant modernization to meet contemporary buyer expectations.
Main Level Bathroom Configuration: The main level features only one full bathroom for two bedrooms, including the oversized primary, which may be considered insufficient or inconvenient by modern standards for some buyers.
Lack of Modern Cooling System: As is common with homes of this vintage in San Francisco, the description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a drawback during warmer periods or for buyers accustomed to central air conditioning.
