Built in 1952, this property has clearly undergone an extensive and recent renovation, as indicated by the 'beautifully updated residence' description and the modern aesthetics throughout the images. The kitchen features contemporary white shaker cabinets, white solid-surface countertops, and stainless steel appliances, all appearing new or nearly new. Bathrooms showcase modern vanities, tiling, and fixtures. Hardwood flooring is consistently well-maintained, and light fixtures are updated to a modern style.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Panoramic Views: The residence boasts unobstructed, breathtaking panoramic views of Downtown San Francisco, the Bay, city lights, bridges, hills, and mountains, visible from multiple decks.
Highly Desirable Location: Nestled in a cul-de-sac within the prestigious Upper Rockridge neighborhood, offering convenient access to local amenities, boutique shops, restaurants, parks, and BART.
Versatile Separate Unit: Includes a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom private unit with its own entrance, providing excellent flexibility for rental income, a home office, or accommodating guests/extended family.
Proximity to Top-Tier Schools: Located near highly-rated public schools, including Chabot Elementary (rated 8) and Piedmont High School (rated 10), making it highly attractive for families.
Strong Value Proposition: The property is listed significantly below its estimated market value ($1.195M vs. $1.357M), suggesting a potentially attractive investment opportunity or competitive pricing.
Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1952, despite being updated, the property may have underlying older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) that could require future maintenance or significant upgrades.
Limited Main Residence Bedrooms: The main upstairs residence features only 2 bedrooms, which might be restrictive for larger families or those requiring more dedicated sleeping quarters within the primary living space.
Absence of Cooling System Mention: The property description does not explicitly mention an air conditioning or cooling system, which could be a comfort concern during warmer periods, especially with multiple decks and potential sun exposure.
