About This Home

As of July 2025

From the moment you enter this magical one-level home, you are captivated by its true Mid-Century design aesthetics. The gleaming newly refinished hardwood floors, a fabulous living room with the fireplace, that flows perfectly into the dining room offer giving you an open concept feeling- all silhouetted by views of the San Francisco skyline. The kitchen’s inspiration was drawn from five original Mid-Century tile pieces that were carefully removed & preserved from the original kitchen & creatively blended & displayed as works of art on the stove’s backsplash all with newly updated modern touches throughout to marry the two worlds, old & new, together. New cabinetry, new appliances, new tile flooring, & other modern amenities, all added to give the new owner a sense of ease. A separate laundry area just off the kitchen gives more comfort to this wonderful floor plan. The 2 bedrooms offer space and an abundance of storage with the closet’s built-in cabinets. The newly updated bathroom has a burst of fun with new lighting, new tile floors (2025), an updated vanity, and other wonderful additions. With so many possibilities your imagination can unfold & create the outdoor space you dream of. A level patio area for entertaining, a grassy area to play & a space to garden!
