Lovingly owned by the same family since it was built, this classic 1937 residence in San Francisco's Portola neighborhood is full of character and ready for its next chapter. Spacious and thoughtfully designed, this fully detached home offers a generous floor plan with timeless details.
Step through the welcoming entry foyer into a bright living space with hardwood floors, a formal dining room, and a sun room perfect for soaking in natural light. The home features two bedrooms, one and a half baths, and a large kitchen. Downstairs, a bonus recreation room with a wet bar and fireplace offers great potential, while an extra storage room and a tandem two-car garage provide plenty of flexibility for todays lifestyle.
Recent improvements include a newer roof, double-paned windows throughout, fresh interior paint, and recently updated exterior paint, all while preserving the homes original charm.
Located in the heart of the Portola neighborhood with easy access to parks, shops, and transit. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of San Francisco history and make it your own.
