Storybook home in the Lakeside!
This enchanting split-level home features a recent, high quality renovation while preserving timeless 1930’s details.
The generously-sized living room has windows on 2 sides, a window seat and gas-burning fireplace. It is painted in a bold designer color scheme and looks out onto gorgeous adjacent homes.
The fully-remodeled, light-filled chef’s kitchen has luxe appliances and all-new cabinetry. Handy fixtures for the gourmet cook include a pot-filler faucet above the stove. The kitchen has been completely opened up to the formal dining room for optimal flow. The dining room has a new full-length cabinet running the entire length of the room for easy storage of everything you’ll need for entertaining and is painted in designer colors. These public rooms open directly into the rear and side yards, where a bbq grill and outdoor seating can be enjoyed in close proximity to the kitchen.
The elegant foyer boasts a gracious staircase with wooden balusters leading to the upper split level of this adorable home.
On the upper level you will find two very large bedrooms. The remodeled ensuite primary bathroom features all-new fixtures including a heated towel-warmer. There is a double-vanity and a deep traditional clawfoot soaking tub next to a separate shower stall with a waterfall shower head, accented with mosaic-style tile work on the floors and in several handy niches. The 2nd bedroom also has an ensuite half-bath. Each of the upper rooms enjoys its own private walk-out balcony w/French doors!
On the main level there is a sunny 3rd bedroom with windows on 2 sides.
Downstairs there is an office (or flex-use 4th bedroom) along with a spacious knotty-pine family room featuring a gas-burning fireplace and speakeasy-style wet-bar. A fully redone bathroom completes this lower level.
This home is served by a 1-car garage (with convenient laundry chute next to the washer-dryer) and also features an extra-wide driveway for parking a second car. There is ample storage in various parts of the basement and crawlspace areas.
The solar array is owned (not leased). The home features all-double-paned windows and many recessed lights.
Located on an exceptionally desirable and beautiful section of Rossmoor, surrounded by distinctive homes in great condition, and close to Stonestown, Lake Merced, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, the Merced Library and West Portal shopping with easy access to MUNI and I-280, this home offers unbeatable charm and convenience!

Neighborhood
One of the defining aspects of Lakeside is its convenient location. Just two blocks away, via a convenient pedestrian shortcut, Ocean Avenue’s Lakeside shopping district offers convenient eateries: pick up your morning coffee and a freshly-baked pastry at the beloved Ambrosia Bakery, treat your friends to fine Italian dining at Ofena, and for a casual brunch you must check out the great menu at popular Lucho’s Cafe. X-Core is a terrific Pilates studio while the banh mi sandwiches from Dinosaur are reputed to be the best in the city! The Merced Library is on Winston, just 2 blocks away.
Nearby West Portal offers countless boutiques and great restaurants, an independent bookstore, art classes for kids and adults, banks and professional offices, and a great MUNI connection to downtown where multiple trains converge for a more rapid commute.
Additionally, Stonestown Galleria is very close by, and you can walk to your groceries at Whole Foods, or Target. There are numerous stores, a movie theater, two great gyms (YMCA and City Sports Club), and an extensive Farmer’s Market staged behind the Mall every week - here you can buy fresh organic produce delivered by local farmers while enjoying the food-truck scene and musical entertainment.
Lakeside abuts picturesque Lake Merced, a 300-acre freshwater lake that serves as the community's crown jewel and recreational heart. The lake and surrounding greenspace is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise, offering jogging paths, fishing spots, and tranquil spaces for morning walks or reflection. There is ample green space for picnics, while the nearby Olympic Club and TPC Harding Park golf courses add recreational prestige while Fort Funston attracts neighbors and visitors from around the world for its spectacular views.
With its timeless charm, unbeatable convenience, and warm community feel, Lakeside is more than just a place to live—it's a place to truly call home.
