Glen Park Home Offers an Evening Pause at 1,498,000
At 39 Melrose Ave, the deck handles contemplation while the mature palm manages arrivals.
The asking price is 1,498,000 for 1300 square feet, but the presentation prefers to itemize states of mind. This three-bedroom, two-bath Glen Park home offers a “palm-framed welcome,” a “fresh perspective” and an “evening pause.” Coffee is assigned to the deck. Unwinding receives several locations. The palm, mentioned again at the close, has apparently secured both opening and closing credits.
Behind this hospitality program is a concrete inventory. The main level has a bright living room, two bedrooms, a remodeled full bath and an updated kitchen with shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and dining space. Kitchen and bath skylights accompany refinished original oak floors. The deck overlooks the surrounding hills. Below, the primary suite has new luxury vinyl plank flooring and a remodeled bath; a hallway connects to the flat, south-facing backyard with lawn and mature trees. Even the flooring arrives with a luxury designation. The oak lets its résumé speak.
The improvements include fresh interior and exterior paint, new light fixtures, a roof replaced in 2018, an updated 100-amp electrical panel and a new front fence. Parking is described as “A full-size one-car garage and long driveway accommodate up to two vehicles.” The listing also promises a quiet street, walking distance to the village center and easy access to I-280, Glen Park BART, shops and restaurants. Useful particulars, all. None requires the buyer to develop a fresh perspective before moving in.

Questions to ask
- What is included in the supplied 1300 square feet, and does that measurement include the lower-level primary suite?
- Does “accommodate up to two vehicles” mean total capacity across the garage and driveway, and what vehicle sizes fit?
- What documentation and warranties are available for the roof replaced in 2018, the updated 100-amp electrical panel and the remodeled baths?
