About this home

Welcome to this incredible property at 297 San Anselmo Ave N, offering not one, but two beautiful living spaces! This is a rare find in a prime San Bruno location, combining a freshly updated main house with a completely separate, private apartment. The main residence is a charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home that has been tastefully modernized. Step inside to discover a bright and airy atmosphere, thanks to a fresh coat of paint, plush new carpet, and beautifully refinished hardwood floors. The unique, step-down family room creates a cozy and distinct living area, perfect for relaxation or entertaining. The main house also includes an oversized one-car garage, providing ample space for parking and storage. Outside, the updates continue with a brand-new back deck and a low-maintenance, turfed backyard, the ideal spot for outdoor gatherings and easy living. The attached apartment at 311 Georgia Ave (ADU) is a fantastic bonus. It features a spacious 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout with its own living room. The apartment has also been refreshed with refinished hardwood floors and includes a full kitchen. Best of all, it boasts a private entrance and a private yard, making it a perfect space for rental income, extended family, or a home office.

Condition Rating
Fair

While the property benefits from recent cosmetic updates such as fresh paint, refinished hardwood floors, new carpet, a new deck, and a turfed backyard, the main kitchen and the ADU bathroom are significantly outdated. The main kitchen features a vintage stove, yellow tile countertops, and older cabinetry, which do not align with modern aesthetics or functionality. Similarly, the ADU bathroom has dated fixtures and tile. These key areas would require substantial renovation to meet contemporary standards, placing the property in the 'Fair' category despite the other recent improvements.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income Potential/Flexibility (ADU): The property includes a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment (ADU) with its own entrance and yard, offering significant potential for rental income, multi-generational living, or a dedicated home office.
Recent Modernizations: Both the main house and ADU have received recent updates, including fresh paint, new carpet, and refinished hardwood floors, contributing to a move-in ready condition.
Outdoor Living Space: A brand-new back deck and a low-maintenance, turfed backyard provide attractive and functional outdoor areas for relaxation and entertaining.
Prime Location: Situated in a 'prime San Bruno location,' suggesting desirable access to amenities, transportation, and community features.
Ample Parking/Storage: The oversized one-car garage offers valuable space for parking and additional storage, a practical benefit for homeowners.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1938, the property's age may imply potential for older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) that might require future maintenance or upgrades beyond the recent cosmetic updates.
Price Reduction History: The property has seen a significant price reduction from $1.5M to $1.3M, which could raise buyer questions about initial pricing strategy or perceived value.
Limited Bathrooms in Main House: The main residence features 3 bedrooms but only 1.5 bathrooms, which might be a functional limitation for larger families or those accustomed to more bathrooms per bedroom.
