Parkside Blue Beauty

This refreshed blue beauty has been cherished for decades under one owner. Beloved gardens were planted; children were raised; dogs were rescued and nurtured. Good historic energy gives forth. At first glance it's a typical midcentury tunnel-entrance home, but a further look uncovers the delights of a brand-new kitchen, generous storage, up-terraced deep lot and garden, multi-car parking, and permitted downstairs office with second bath. Room sizes are perfectly scaled, and the two skylights guarantee brightness and cheer. While period details remain throughout--original bath tile, for example--the home has the modern conveniences of new electrical, appliances, and automatic garage door, which join historic upgrades like windows, furnace, and water heater. The deep lot may inspire you to create the landscape of your dreams, but right now it is ready to host and toast your guests as is. And did we talk about the neighborhood? Parkside has been coming into itself for years, with endless options for grocery/produce, dining, shopping, and recreation. Nearby mini-parks abound, while West Portal, Stonestown, and the beach and Fort Funston are barely farther afield. The L Taraval Improvement Project is complete--much like this home. No wonder Walkscore.com rates it 93/100!
