This updated 1936 Redwood Heights traditional brings charm galore and the kind of upgrades that let you actually enjoy it. Original character shows up everywhere, from the beamed ceilings in the living room to the vintage Pryne & Co Milko Box tucked into the breakfast nook. Two fireplaces, two western-facing decks, and afternoon sunshine that makes the living room glow. The updated galley kitchen is both sleek and practical, with deep drawers, roll-out shelves, stone counters, and a built-in water filtration system. French doors with built-in blinds open onto a large deck where the San Francisco skyline and the Mormon Temple sit right in your line of sight. Downstairs, the primary suite has its own fireplace and French doors to a private deck. A stairwell connects the upper deck to a grassy backyard full of mature perennials and an orange tree. Many big-ticket items have already been tackled: updated copper pipes (2022), electrical rewired with panel upgraded (2022 and 2026), new heat pump, AC, and ducting (2023), sewer lateral compliant, and owned solar. Garage with interior access and EV charger. Dual-pane windows, a laundry room, a coat closet, a wine storage closet, plus additional storage off the lower deck. Blocks to Redwood Heights Elementary, the Rec Center, Lincoln Square, and the Laurel district.
