Built in 1947, this four-bedroom, two-bath Doelger Full-Six Tunnel Entrance residence occupies a 3,001-square-foot lot in San Francisco's Outer Parkside. The main level holds three bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, and a formal dining room. The lower level offers a fourth bedroom, a second bathroom, and a living area with direct backyard access—a configuration that supports flexible household arrangements. The 1,375-square-foot floor plan retains the character of its era and invites personalization. A generous backyard extends the functional envelope of the home, suited to outdoor use or future modification.
Outer Parkside sits between Ocean Beach and the Taraval Street corridor, bordered by neighborhood parks including South Sunset Playground, Pine Lake Park, and West Sunset Playground. The Walk Score of 88 reflects proximity to Lucky and Boss Supermarket for groceries, Java Beach At The Zoo and Devil's Teeth Baking Company for coffee, and a range of casual dining along the commercial spine. The L Taraval light rail is steps away. A drive to Trader Joe's on Winston Drive takes eight minutes; the journey to 1 Letterman Drive is twenty-one minutes by car, fifty-two by transit. The Pacific coastline and Sunset Boulevard shape the rhythm of daily life here.
Recent Outer Parkside sales range from $1,320,000 to $2,115,000, with a median of $1,478,000 and an average price per square foot of $1,147. Homes are moving in an average of nine days. Comparable properties on 39th, 43rd, and 44th Avenues, as well as Santiago and Ulloa Streets, closed between March and July at prices reflecting both baseline condition and degree of finish. Buyers weighing this offering will want to account for deferred updates and the opportunity cost of renovation against the neighborhood's demonstrated absorption pace.

Walk Score® rates an address from 0–100 by how easily everyday errands — groceries, coffee, dining, school pickup — can be done on foot. 50+ means some errands can be walked, 70+ means most can, and 90+ is a rare walker's paradise. Transit and Bike scores read the same way for public transportation and cycling.
Ratings are GreatSchools Summary Ratings on a 1–10 scale, based on test scores, student progress, and college readiness — 8–10 is above average, 5–7 average, 1–4 below average. Schools shown are the closest rated options within five miles. Attendance boundaries change; always verify enrollment eligibility directly with the school district.
I’m Maria DeSalvo, a fifth-generation Marin County native and real estate advisor. I’ve built my business on integrity, personalized strategy, and genuine connection. Getting to play a role in a transitional chapter in someone’s life – whether they’re buying their first home, selling their family home, or growing their investment portfolio – is the part of this work I never take for granted.
Some clients call me their house therapist. Others call me an expert in my field. What I know for certain is that no two journeys are alike, and I treat them that way.
My approach is calm and grounded. I believe the best thing I can do for a client is make something complicated feel manageable and be two steps ahead before the pressure sets in. For sellers, that means acting as a full project manager: home improvement guidance, staging, vendors, pricing, timing – the whole process. For buyers, it means being a steady guide through a market that rarely feels steady.
