Spectacular views of SF, the Bay, and the Golden Gate Bridge make it easy to love this 1954 R.E. Meadows one-owner home. Midcentury redwood paneling and built-in bookcases surround the brick fireplace. Beautiful hardwood floors and original details, including original tile work, remain in great condition. Abundant windows and the kitchen skylight bathe the home in natural light, creating a warm and inviting ambiance throughout. With 5 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths, the sensible floor plan ensures comfort and flexibility for any family, individual, or group. The upper level features three spacious bedrooms, creating a serene retreat with separation from the lower unit. The lower level includes a second kitchen and two additional bedrooms, one of which can be a private studio or office space with its own private entrance. The interior staircase connects both levels, while three separate entrances provide the option for independent living. The ability to rent space easily can help with mortgage payments. A landscaped yard with a patio and vegetable beds offers a perfect outdoor oasis. A charming deck off the dining room is ideal for dining against the dramatic sunset views. Additional features include a garage with interior access and loads of closets and a generous basement storage.
