Sweeping panoramic city, bay & bridge views, flexible living spaces, & multiple outdoor entertaining areas are highlights of this Mid-Century Modern Golden Duplex. 7 BD 4 BA in total: The main house consists of 5 BD 3 BA. On the main level, a natural light drenched foyer leads to dramatic windows featuring unobstructed views of the Golden Gate & Bay Bridges.

The separate 2nd unit (199 Forest Ln) rounds out this ~1/3 acre property with 2 BD 1 BA, kitchen & in-unit laundry at ~750 sq ft: perfect for rental income, multi-generational living, gym or office.

Recent seismic retrofitting, sewer lateral & BESO compliance make this sprawling property move-in ready.
