The story
This classic 1932 Spanish Revival home stands out from the street, with its red tile roofline, ornamental plasterwork, and three arched windows. Inside, a recent refresh and thoughtful styling build on its period details. The foyer, with its arched doorways, opens to the living and dining rooms. The spacious living room, perfect for entertaining, has a barrel ceiling, a wood-burning fireplace, and sweeping sunset views to the west. The formal dining room features raised plaster moldings, and the updated kitchen includes quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, a KitchenAid double oven, and a bright breakfast area. Both bedrooms sit at the back of the house, away from street noise, where mornings start with the sunrise and a view of the Southern Hills. A full bathroom completes the main level. An internal carpeted stairway leads down to a sizable bonus room facing the backyard and an oversized one-car garage with laundry and extensive storage. The large rear garden and patio, with mature apple and lemon trees, are sheltered from the wind and ideal for a Mexican mocha from Excelsior Coffee, a slice from Little Joe's, or tacos from Mexico Tipico. Neighborhood favorites include yoga at Love and Light, cocktails at the Halfway Club, and the trails and dog park at McLaren Park. Balboa Park BART and Highway 280 put downtown, SFO, and the Peninsula within easy reach.
