Beautiful Bay + SF city views from the living room, kitchen + primary bedroom. Has a spacious backyard deck and sunny patio with direct access from the house, and plenty of lush, mature landscaping that provides exceptional green screen privacy between neighbors. Fresh interior paint + newer exterior paint (2024). Extensive updates/improvements by the present owners (see Disclosures for full list).
