Welcome to this fabulous two-bed, one-bath single-family home in Glen Park: the product of a truly thoughtful, multi-faceted modernization. Extensively remodeled and totally smart wired, this charming house has been fashioned to maximize space. Natural light from abundant skylights, brand new roof with solar panels (owned, not leased!), energy efficient systems, all completed with the potential for expansion in mind.

The current owners of this clever home started with a typical midcentury house, but have created something entirely new. Downstairs space has been legally converted into a comfortable den/media room with direct access onto the spacious patio. The ceilings have been opened to reveal the graceful sloping roof line and add height. Numerous skylights were added for natural light and architectural interest.

The open concept main floor features a light and bright living area with views of city lights to the south and a contemporary Heat & Glo gas stove. The updated kitchen has soapstone countertops, Fisher and Paykel refrigerator, KitchenAid stove, inset GE Profile microwave, and Thermador dishwasher. The downstairs laundry room off the fully refurbished garage also features a soapstone counter

over high capacity, side-by-side LG washer and dryer. The sellers have upgraded all systems with expert consultation to maximize energy efficiency. Ecobee thermostat, state-of-the art security cameras, built-in stereo and speakers are just some elements of this very smart home. Energy efficient windows with between-the-glass blinds are yet another example of the current owners’ attention to detail.

The hardwood floors have been refinished, and the entire house has been freshly painted inside and out. The patio is a great space for relaxing and entertaining. A two-car tandem garage with built-in storage also leads to the back patio, and street parking is abundant on this hill at the top of Glen Park. 

Conveniently served by a BART station and easy freeway access, Glen Park has a small-town feel. Known as “the Village,” the business district centered at the intersections of Diamond and Chenery Streets boasts charming mom-and-pop shops, a number of trendy restaurants, old-fashioned cafes, and more! Glen Park Canyon features a new rec center, tennis courts, ball fields, playground, and 60 acres of wilderness for hiking, climbing, and a respite from city life.
