  Must see original charm, with so much potential to expand the home within the existing footprint. Ideal location between Golden Gate Park and the dining and shopping along Balboa Street, plus 8 blocks from Ocean Beach!

Serene and bright Richmond retreat with lovely original detail and excellent expansion potential! Owned by the same family for multiple generations, this lovingly maintained home exudes a warmth and authenticity that are increasingly rare to find. Every corner showcases period details that will melt your heart, from the trim work and light fixtures to the original character that has been thoughtfully preserved over the years. A dedicated entry foyer with a convenient coat closet offers a gracious welcome, setting the stage for the rest of the home. Step into the bright front living room, where natural light pours in and creates an inviting space for everyday living. The formal dining room is perfect for gatherings, celebrations, or intimate dinners at home. Beyond the dining room, you'll find a delightful breakfast room that feels like a step back in time in the best possible way - cozy, sunny, and ideal for morning coffee or casual meals. The adjoining original kitchen retains its vintage charm while offering all the essentials, making it the heart of the home where memories are made. Two spacious bedrooms overlook the rear garden retreat and the split bathroom is located off the main hallway. There is an interior staircase to the massive garage with excellent expansion potential. Just eight blocks to Ocean Beach, this wonderful private retreat is the perfect escape amidst the hustle and bustle of city living, but also very close to the cafes and restaurants of Balboa Street, home of the Balboa Theater, Rampant Wine Bar and more!
