Overview

Situated on a rare, oversized lot of more than one-quarter acre, this ranch home has fresh updates and fabulous outdoor living venues. A beautiful enclosed front courtyard, complete with a mature magnolia tree, rose bushes, expansive decking, and sound speakers, provides the perfect private entrance with a resort-like feel and plenty of room to entertain. Inside the bold red door, the one-level home sports freshly painted interiors, carpeting in most rooms, and crown moldings with dentil detail throughout. Indoor/outdoor living prevails with both the formal living and dining rooms featuring sliding glass doors to the deck and rear yard. The living room is highlighted by a focal-point fireplace flanked by built-in library shelves while the formal dining room boasts a beaded chandelier from a ceiling medallion – each an open space wonderful for entertaining. The updated, sky-lit kitchen has richly hued cabinetry with an integrated wine rack topped in contrasting white Corian plus full-height backsplashes and all-white appliances. Adding even more space just off the living room is a wonderful flexible-use room ideal for a family room, today’s home office, or a play area, and yet another room designed for indoor/outdoor living with its sliding glass door to the front courtyard.

There are three bedrooms in a private wing, including a luxurious primary suite with a fireplace, two sets of sliding glass doors to the rear yard, and two fully customized closets. The beautifully updated, sky-lit en suite bath is finished in travertine and includes a shower with ceiling-mounted rainspout. Two additional bedrooms, each with a customized closet, are served by a hallway bath with black and white tile finishes, complete with a jetted tub and overhead shower.

Adding to the appeal of this great home are wonderful outdoor venues that include the spacious front courtyard deck, a rear deck and lawn, flagstone patio set in crushed stone, and gardens with various flowers and a lemon tree – the perfect setting for play, indoor/outdoor living, and evenings dining al fresco in your own peaceful oasis. All of this, plus an excellent location just blocks to shopping, Buri Buri Park, Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, California Golf Club of San Francisco, and minutes to BART and highways 101 and 280.

South San Francisco

Buri Buri

Buri Buri is another South San Francisco district populated by typical one- and two-story mid-century suburban homes whose period charm, an afterthought in 1950, now makes them popular with buyers. Two-car garages and neat, well-maintained lawns are the norm in Buri Buri, and a central location near freeways, BART, shopping, dining and parks has contributed to homes here selling for approximately 104 percent of their asking price.

Favorable

  • Homes and lots slightly larger than similar South San Francisco neighborhoods; some properties have views

  • Location is convenient for auto and train commuters, shopping and dining

  • Residents show pride of ownership; properties are well-maintained and homeowners are active in the local community

Adverse

  • Most amenities are not within easy walking distance of Buri Buri; neighborhood WalkScore is under 40.

  • Westborough Boulevard, which forms the southern border of Buri Buri, is heavily trafficked

Explore Buri Buri

New residents are flocking to South San Francisco’s diverse neighborhoods, choosing between pre-war downtown cottages, sweeping post-war mid-century suburbia, large-scale transit hub apartment developments and condominiums and the spacious mini-mansions of Terrabay’s Mandalay Heights, whose multi-level homes sit in a small valley on the southern slope of San Bruno Mountain, offering bay views and the perks of 21st-century design with a twist — Western Pacific Housing developed Mandalay Heights “with feng shui in mind,” incorporating small and large details designed to allow for the flow of chi.

South San Francisco is known as the birthplace of biotechnology since 1976 when Genentech opened its door. With over 200 biotech companies (Amgen, Stemcentrx, 23 and me) and 11.5 million square feet of space, South San Francisco is the world’s leading research and development (R&D) (e.g. vaccines, gene therapies, ect) hub for applications for drugs and therapies, as well as the manufacturing of medical devices.

In recent years, it has become the local hub for other tech leaders such as SAP(Successfactors) as well as the Headquarters for See’s Candies and Sanrio(parent of Hello Kitty. Just a short distance from San Francisco and the Peninsula, South San Francisco is expanding rapidly, as can be seen by the large numbers of cranes and construction sites. New offices and residential buildings are popping up rapidly.

This growth in the business sector is leading to a large demand for services to support the business infrastructure. A trip through downtown’s Grand Avenue reveals that the city’s decades-old family-owned businesses are now sharing space with increasingly stylish restaurants, a downstairs brewery and tap room, hip and trendy restaurants/bowling alleys/ basketball courts/meeting locations such as Foundry & Lux, and a growing number of cafe’s. Pedestrian street life is vibrant, encouraged by city government’s partnerships with urban bicycle and carpooling apps spin.com and Scoop.com. A new Business Costco also opened last fall in South San Francisco to support and supply all these small businesses.
