Upon entering the welcoming foyer, you will see the large light filled living room with its white oak-stained original hardwood floors. The curved plaster walls add to the character of the room. The spacious formal dining room has boxed beamed ceilings, a white brick fireplace and plantation shutters. The farmhouse kitchen includes white quartz countertops, a center work island, farm sink and a conveniently located W&D.

Condition Rating
Good

Despite being built in 1910, this property has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern white quartz countertops, a farm sink, new white shaker-style cabinets with gold hardware, and modern appliances, reflecting a recent update. Bathrooms also showcase modern vanities, gold fixtures, and updated flooring. Original hardwood floors are well-maintained, and new LVP flooring is present in other areas. Modern light fixtures are visible throughout. While the visible areas are excellent, a 'Good' rating is appropriate as it acknowledges the comprehensive renovation within the last 5-15 years, without claiming every single component of a 110+ year old house is 'virtually new' as required for an 'Excellent' rating.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Multi-Generational Living Potential: The 3-story layout, separate lower-level entrance, and attic bonus rooms with a bathroom make it ideal for multi-generational families or flexible living arrangements, as explicitly stated in the description.
Charming & Updated Craftsman Details: The home boasts original white oak-stained hardwood floors, curved plaster walls, boxed beamed ceilings, a white brick fireplace, and a modern farmhouse kitchen with white quartz countertops and a center island, all in 'move in condition'.
Prime Location & Neighborhood Amenities: Situated on a cul-de-sac in a well-established neighborhood with 'awesome neighbors', adjacent to William D Wood Park, and within walking distance to local markets (Pete's, Farmer Joes) and the SF bus line.
Strong Local Elementary Schools: Proximity to highly-rated public elementary schools such as Sequoia (5/10) and Glenview (5/10), along with private options like Head Royce & St Jarlath, enhances family appeal.
Desirable Outdoor Living Space: Features a large sunny deck accessible via French doors from the kitchen, overlooking a private backyard and garden area, perfect for entertaining and relaxation.

Cons

Limited Official Bedroom Count: Despite its multi-level design and suitability for larger families, the property is officially listed with only 2 bedrooms, which may not meet the needs of all potential buyers looking for more dedicated sleeping spaces.
Historic Property Maintenance: Built in 1910, while updated, older homes can present ongoing maintenance considerations for original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) that may not have been fully replaced, potentially requiring future investment.
Mixed Public School Ratings: While elementary schools are strong, some nearby public middle and high schools have lower ratings (e.g., Bret Harte Middle School - 2, Fremont High - 2), which could be a factor for families with older children.
