Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1950, this property is well-maintained but remains in 'vintage' condition. While it features updated windows and refinished hardwood floors, the kitchen is described as restored vintage rather than modernized, and the single bathroom likely exceeds the 20-year age threshold for a full renovation. It is move-in ready but dated, fitting the criteria for minor updates.
Nestled in the secluded St Francis Park enclave, this property offers a rare 'hidden gem' atmosphere with a unified architectural style and a rich historical background.
The large, usable basement provides a clear opportunity to add a master bedroom and bathroom, allowing owners to increase square footage and equity.
The home is ideally situated within walking distance of the Napa River and the Ferry Building, offering convenient access for San Francisco commuters and waterfront recreation.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 3.
The current 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration may be a drawback for families or buyers seeking modern convenience without immediate renovation.
With a lot size of 2,692 square feet, the outdoor space is relatively small, which may limit options for gardening or extensive outdoor entertaining.
A wonderful vintage bungalow nestled in St Francis Park. At 1232 SQFT, this 2/1 feels large. The home has warm colors and lots of light. The entire area under the home is usable. There is a garage, a large laundry, and storage. St Francis Park is like a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. It feels a bit industrial on the outside, but once you enter, you find a hidden gem most locals dont know exists. Located several blocks from the marina, this neighborhood has about three dozen homes, most built in the 1930s. The tiny enclave of mostly Spanish Revival and Tudor homes has a unified style and the feeling that makes it distinctive and desirable. St Francis Park has great neighbors, small streets, and a secluded feel. In World War One this area was a Navy Dormitory. The development of the residential area that followed used the same road plan, which created the tucked-away feeling you will find here. 35 Buena Vista Ave is located in the back corner. It feels hidden in the back, away from everything, and yet it is a short walk to the Napa River and an easy stroll to the Ferry Building. You will find wood floors, a restored vintage kitchen counter, and updated double-hung wooden windows. There are a pair of avocado trees in the backyard. The basement is large enough for a master bedroom and bathroom addition.
