About This Home

As of June 2021

What a great location! Anything in Sycamore Park for this price is a real bargain. Bonus room in partial basement. Cozy fireplace in living room, backyard can be cleaned up more - if you want a grassy yard, easy commute to SF, and not so far into town either. It needs updating and repairs, but there's a lot of potential here.
