This 2-bedroom, 1-bath single-family home is in the heart of South San Francisco, an easy commute to hundreds of biotech firms, San Francisco, and San Mateo.

The entryway is a great bonus space for an office or storage. Inside, generous windows and skylights provide lots of natural light, and the layout creates an easy flow between rooms. The kitchen has beautiful period cabinetry, a sunny breakfast nook, and an adjacent laundry room. Close to downtown South San Francisco and 15 minutes from San Francisco and San Mateo, this neighborhood has easy access to Highways 101 and 280, Costco, shops, and restaurants. The area has high scores for walkability and bike use. K–12 schools are located within 2 miles. Gardiner Park, a recently renovated playground, is across the street from the house, and San Bruno Mountain State Park, an oasis of green in the urban peninsula, offers miles of hiking and cycling trails.
