Open the doors to a sanctuary in your own backyard.
This 1940-built ranch-style home features three bedrooms and two baths, a fully landscaped backyard and high-end appliances. Its current owners have also completed and submitted architectural plans for a 480 sq. ft. accessory dwelling unit with one bedroom, one bath and a full kitchen, something future owners can pursue if interested.
Up the stone entryway and through the dark green front door is the main floor. To the right is the living room that's fitted with a classic wood-burning brick fire and a large window that overlooks Holloway Avenue.
To the left and past the small staircase that leads to the two additional bedrooms is the open-concept kitchen that greets you with a center island with long hanging orb-like lights and views from the spacious backyard. It features stainless steel appliances and light tan wood cabinets with black handles and flows into the dining room. In the corner, near the farmhouse sink, is also a glass block-textured window, granting natural light and privacy in the kitchen.
Four-panel, floor-to-ceiling patio doors, located just off of the dining room, lead to the meticulously landscaped and wood-fenced backyard and a wrap-around extended deck. The yard is covered with a large rectangle-shaped patch of grass that is surrounded by sand and includes mature trees and a flower-covered trellis, herb garden and a fire pit lounge area.
Back inside and up the small staircase are the primary and secondary bedrooms, each equipped with large windows and ample closet space. The primary suite also offers an in-room full bathroom and the hallway between the two rooms is home to a second full bathroom.
The lower level of the home is the attached garage and en-suite bedroom with a full bathroom, ideal as a guest room, home office, family or media room. The spacious area also offers easy access to the backyard and a barn-style door to close the room off from the hallway.
It is a six-minute walk to the Ingleside Terraces Sundial and is a four-minute walk to the 29 bus stop and an eight-minute walk to the M-Ocean View light rail. It is also an eight-minute walk to San Francisco State University and a five-minute car ride to Stonestown Galleria.
