About this home

Beautiful Piedmont Pines home features mid-century charm and pride of ownership. Home measures larger than public records. While the home is already spacious, it could be expanded without infringing on the neighbor's views. Tucked into Forest Manor subdivision (between Skyline and the ridge) this home is for sale for first time after nearly 70 years. Everything works and is ready for your modern touches. It is a cozy and tranquil two bedroom home which could easily have a third bedroom in place of the downstairs den. The walkout lower level also includes an enclosed workshop. Hardwood floors, views of downtown SF from the bedroom, off street parking plus a garage. Enjoy morning coffee on the raised front porch overlooking the mature garden. Join the friendly neighbors who gather once each month a few steps away at the mailboxes for a Friday evening hike into Reinhardt Regional Redwood Park and enjoy a BBQ dinner. You can find a house anywhere - it is hard to find a home in a great community. This one won't last. Section 1 Pest Report clearance. Views: Downtown

Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1941, this property retains significant mid-century charm, which in this context means it is largely original or last renovated many decades ago. While the listing states 'Everything works' and there's 'pride of ownership,' indicating functional systems and good maintenance for its age, the kitchen and bathrooms are extremely dated. The kitchen features vintage green appliances, original wood cabinets, and linoleum flooring, requiring a full modern renovation. The bathrooms exhibit very old wallpaper, dated fixtures, and small hexagonal tiles, also necessitating substantial rehabilitation. The downstairs den with wood paneling and old carpet further emphasizes the need for extensive updates. These are not minor cosmetic changes but substantial projects to bring the home to current standards, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria for requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation, even if not structural.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Strong Community & Location: Nestled in the desirable Piedmont Pines/Forest Manor subdivision, the property boasts a friendly community atmosphere with organized social events and direct access to Reinhardt Regional Redwood Park.
Panoramic Views: The home offers captivating views of downtown San Francisco from the bedroom, providing a significant aesthetic and value-add.
Expansion Potential: The property measures larger than public records and offers clear potential for expansion, including the easy conversion of a downstairs den into a third bedroom, without impacting neighbor views.
Well-Maintained & Functional: Described with 'pride of ownership' and 'everything works,' the home is in good functional condition, further supported by a Section 1 Pest Report clearance, indicating immediate habitability.
Unique Charm & Exclusivity: Featuring mid-century charm and being on the market for the first time in nearly 70 years, the property offers a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a home with character and history.

Cons

Age and Need for Modernization: Built in 1941, the home, while functional, explicitly states it's 'ready for your modern touches,' implying potential for significant renovation costs to update aesthetics and systems to contemporary standards.
Limited Current Bedroom Count: Currently configured as a two-bedroom home, which might be a limiting factor for larger families or those requiring more dedicated rooms, despite the potential for a third bedroom conversion.
Mixed Local School Ratings: While some schools are well-rated, several nearby public middle and high schools have lower ratings (e.g., 2-4), which could be a concern for families prioritizing highly-rated local public education options.
