Ranch-style home in the middle of San Francisco will give you suburban flashbacks

Everything from the bucolic yellow facade to the carriage house style garage doors make this ranch house in the Westwood Highlands a rare offering. More San Rafael than San Francisco, 576 Los Palmos Drive, which lands on the market this week, has another city rarity going for it—it’s asking under a million.

The circa-1960 home comes with interiors that could use a refresh. The vaulted, open beam ceiling; stone fireplace; and hardwood floors could (and should) pair beautifully with midecentury-modern furniture, should one be so inclined.

Coming in at two beds, one bath, and a tight 967 square feet, all that’s missing to make this abode fit for suburbia is a large, green backyard. Which it doesn’t have. Instead, it has a small wood deck and teensy stretch of cement. How very San Francisco.

Asking is $899,000.
