Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2023, other record living area = 1865.
While the local elementary school is highly regarded, the assigned middle and high schools have significantly lower ratings, which may be a concern for families focused on the long-term public school trajectory.
The 4,000 square foot lot is relatively small for a home exceeding 2,000 square feet, resulting in a more modest backyard space that may limit extensive outdoor activities or gardening.
This updated 1936 Redwood Heights traditional brings charm galore and the kind of upgrades that let you actually enjoy it. Original character shows up everywhere, from the beamed ceilings in the living room to the vintage Pryne & Co Milko Box tucked into the breakfast nook. Two fireplaces, two western-facing decks, and afternoon sunshine that makes the living room glow. The updated galley kitchen is both sleek and practical, with deep drawers, roll-out shelves, stone counters, and a built-in water filtration system. French doors with built-in blinds open onto a large deck where the San Francisco skyline and the Mormon Temple sit right in your line of sight. Downstairs, the primary suite has its own fireplace and French doors to a private deck. A stairwell connects the upper deck to a grassy backyard full of mature perennials and an orange tree. Many big-ticket items have already been tackled: updated copper pipes (2022), electrical rewired with panel upgraded (2022 and 2026), new heat pump, AC, and ducting (2023), sewer lateral compliant, and owned solar.
