Built in 1929 and loved by the same family for over 70 years, this inviting home features distinctive architectural details, three bedrooms, one full bathroom with period tile, a pedestal sink, and a separate shower and tub. Relax or entertain in the living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a big picture window and newly refinished hardwood floors. The cheerful eat-in kitchen opens to the rear garden. The expansive lot features a terraced yard with a covered patio, ideal for outdoor gatherings. On the garage level is a finished room, a quarter bath, laundry and plenty of additional storage. The home is perched high on a hill and enjoys pretty vistas and wonderful light. Located in South San Francisco, a hidden gem of a town just south of Daly City and north of San Bruno on the Peninsula. Home to Genentech, the Industrial City is now also known as the Birthplace of Biotechnology. 557 Magnolia Avenue is tucked away from the commotion yet close to everything.
