Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1927, this home is well-maintained but dated. The kitchen update features older laminate countertops, vinyl flooring, and basic white appliances likely exceeding 20 years in age. While the HVAC system appears functional and the original parquet floors are in good condition, the property requires cosmetic modernization and potential system overhauls to meet modern standards.
Elementary School: Chinese Immersion School At Deavila (9/10). Middle School: Lilienthal (Claire) Elementary School (9/10). High School: Lowell High School (10/10).
The expansive, undeveloped garage level with tall ceilings offers a rare opportunity to add square footage, a workshop, or an ADU, providing substantial long-term value upside.
The home features timeless San Francisco details including barrel-vaulted ceilings, original natural woodwork, and a decorative ceramic fireplace that preserve its historic character.
With only one full bathroom serving the entire residence, the current layout may be restrictive for families or those seeking modern convenience.
While functional and updated, the use of vinyl flooring and laminate countertops may require further investment to meet the expectations of buyers seeking high-end materials.
