Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1954, the property is functional but significantly dated. The kitchen and bathrooms appear to have been last updated 30-40 years ago, featuring older wood cabinetry, laminate countertops, and vintage fixtures. While the listing notes it has been 'lovingly maintained,' the age of the finishes and the presence of older carpet and systems suggest it needs comprehensive cosmetic updates and likely utility modernizations to meet current standards.
The property offers impressive views of the Bay and city lights, including downtown vistas, which significantly enhances the home's aesthetic appeal and market value.
The expansive upstairs master suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a fireplace, large walk-in closet, and a dedicated attic space for extra storage.
Ideally situated near shopping, dining, and major transit hubs, this home offers excellent convenience for commuters and easy access to local amenities.

The assigned local schools, particularly the middle and elementary levels, have low performance ratings, which may be a concern for families prioritizing education.
With only a one-car garage for a three-bedroom residence, the property may lack sufficient covered parking and storage for modern multi-vehicle households.
