About This Home
As of June 2025For those in search of glorious Golden Gate and San Francisco views, a lovingly maintained home and a garage that fulfills the dreams of tinkerers, this is the house for you. M and his late wife thoughtfully upgraded this home over the past 22 years. They replaced all the windows and many of the doors, completed a seismic retrofit, upgraded the electrical, plumbing and heating system, refreshed the kitchen and bath, added a fabulous closet system in the primary bedroom, and an awning over the driveway to protect the cars, and planted beautiful roses in the front and backyard. They loved their backyard with a glorious Willow tree, a plum tree and an apricot tree, the forever changing and inspiring views and the garage wrapped in workbenches and storage. The garage is M's favorite spot in the house. Close to hiking trails and nature at Wildcat Canyon Regional Park, a neighborhood dog park, where neighbors and their dogs gather, chat and play, Mira Vista Park, Arlington Market , Del Norte BART, many cafes, restaurants, markets and shops. Additional amenities include fresh paint in and out, new lighting, hardwood floors throughout the living room, dining room and bedrooms, a gated driveway and fully fenced backyard.
