This refined Merced Heights residence has been transformed through a comprehensive down-to-the-studs remodel, seamlessly blending modern design, thoughtful craftsmanship, with sweeping panoramic city and partial ocean views. Upstairs, the reconfigured floor plan delivers a light-filled, open-concept main level anchored by a gourmet kitchen featuring high-end stainless steel appliances, custom-built cabinetry, a cozy electric fireplace, and premium interior details, alongside two well-appointed bedrooms and two full baths. Downstairs, the expanded lower level provides exceptional flexibility with a comfortable family room, a custom wet bar with a built-in wine cooler, two additional bedrooms, and a third full bathroom, perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or work-from-home needs. Every major system is brand new, including the roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, tankless water heater, windows, skylights, designer finishes and more. Freshly landscaped front and rear yards complete this turn-key, one side detached home, which is ideally situated near Ocean Avenue, Stonestown Galleria, and I-280, where suburban tranquility meets everyday city convenience.

RH-1
Residential, House Districts, One-Family
These Districts are occupied almost entirely by single-family houses on lots 25 ft in width, without side yards. Floor sizes and building styles vary, but tend to be uniform within tracts developed in distinct time periods. Though built on separate lots, the structures have the appearance of small-scale row housing, rarely exceeding 35 ft in height. Front setbacks are common, and ground level open space is generous. In most cases the single-family character of these Districts has been maintained for a considerable time.
