A diamond in the rough, this classic Richmond District home has been in the same family for more than 50 years. It's ready for its next chapter and the possibilities are endless. Set back from the street, this sweet home greets you with a large living room complete with fireplace and decorative stained glass windows. Pristine hardwood floors (that were covered for years under carpeting) lead you to the formal dining room, just steps from the cozy kitchen that is well laid out with ample cabinets and counter space. The primary bedroom is quite spacious as is its closet. The second bedroom leads to the sunroom with its wall of windows that direct your sight-line to unobstructed, dead-on views of the ocean. Downstairs is a bonus space, laundry room, extra storage and one-car parking. There is an open, level rear yard to complete the home. You're a half block to transit, steps to all that Geary Boulevard offers - restaurants, bars, cafes and shops - and just a few quick minutes to charming outer Balboa. Hop a bike or take a jog to Ocean Beach, just five minutes away. So much potential in this jewel box home located in the quintessential San Francisco location.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
