Take That, Meter Maids!

Are you trapped in a hate-hate relationship with your neighborhood meter
maid? 59 Park Manor Drive offers an escape from those pesky DPT letters.
Located in Daly City, minutes from Westlake Shopping Center and San Francisco
State, this home is located on a street that has no street sweeping
restrictions. Yes, I said it. No more, “Crap! It’s Tuesday! I have to move
the car!”

Beyond this stellar feature, however, the home is in need of some TLC (totally
laborious construction?). The wood-paneled walls that surround the floor-to-
ceiling brick fireplace take me back to my Grandma’s house. The living
room/dining room combination seems larger than it is, thanks to the open
kitchen–a bar separates the outdated cabinetry and appliances from the rest of
the common area.

In the upper section of this 1,080 square foot, split level home are the two
bedrooms (carpeted, and a bit on the small side) and an older bathroom. The
outside of the home is pleasant (although its design is repetitive; this home
was built in one of two or three designs that compose the entire neighborhood).

At $719,000, this home offers less per square foot than others in the area.
While there is potential to expand in the two-car tandem garage, the area is
not large enough for a true in-law. Beyond that, this home doesn’t differ much from its Daly City counterparts; much like the Sunset, if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen ‘em all.
