Key systems have been recently upgraded, including a newer roof, new sewer lateral, and new ductless HVAC, placing it in mint, move-in condition.
The home features breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco Bay, and Mt. Tamalpais, visible through oversized windows and expansive outdoor decks.
With over 2,700 sq. ft. and unusually large bedrooms plus a versatile bonus room, the property offers a rare scale of interior space and functional flexibility for the neighborhood.
Owned by the same family for 32 years, the home shows pride of ownership with key updates including a newer roof, new sewer lateral, and modernized kitchen and bathrooms.
While the primary suite features a new ductless mini-split, the rest of the home lacks a centralized cooling system, which may be a drawback during warmer months.
The terraced nature of the lot and hillside positioning may limit the amount of flat, usable yard space for traditional recreational activities or gardening.
