Originally built in 1968 as a showcase custom home, this unique single-level property in the sought after Bay-O-Vista neighborhood has been lovingly maintained by its single owner across the decades. No ordinary rancher, this home is built around an inner atrium (not included in measured square footage), and features generously sized rooms and expansive unobstructed views. The enormous living room, with its stunning views and impressive stone-faced fireplace and hearth, is the heart of the home. The huge kitchen is scaled and designed for entertaining and easy food prep. Times have changed and the neighborhood has been built up, but this home remains as a testimony to an era of slow and easy California living. With its low slung profile, walls of glass and easy indoor/outdoor flow, the property evokes a certain "retro chic" Palm Springs vibe, and is just waiting for a new owner to re-imagine and restore the property to its original luster. A remodeler's dream! Grab your beverage of choice and sit back and enjoy the breathtaking city and bay views and cooling bay breezes! Centrally located and close to shopping and restaurants, Lake Chabot, San Francisco, BART and 580.
