Saw another interesting home show up on Redfin today, a home in Merced Manor from the 1950's:

There's actually a pretty large cluster of San Francisco homes built in the 1950's, especially in the southern and southwestern part of the city (coinciding with when much of Daly City was developed); it's just there aren't as many large developments of such houses in most parts of the city since most of the city had already been developed by then.
This is kind of an interesting house. First of all, the exterior is built in the English Tudor style, which is a bit unusual as most of the 1950s houses built in San Francisco were built in a more mid-century modern esque style, similar to the Westlake district in Daly City. It's free-standing, unlike a lot of houses in San Francisco that are more row houses. It's got a relatively modern two car side-by-side garage, which is very unusual in San Francisco where most houses have tandem garages. Finally, it's a split level home, which is also a bit unusual for San Francisco (though not for the United States; split level homes started appearing in common usage in the 1930s and became truly prevalent from the 1950s to 1970s). This house was built in 1953, so pretty much at around the same time as the Stonestown Galleria (the developer of the Galleria was the Stoneson Brothers, who therefore possibly built this house as well).
Inside, it's got a beautiful lava rock fireplace and wood beam ceiling:
The next photo shows clearly how the split level works - the level in the "middle" contains the front entrance and the living and dining rooms. You go up the stairs halfway to get to the main bedrooms and bathrooms. You probably go down a few steps to get to the basement room(s) and garage.
Pretty hot looking green bathroom:
Another bathroom, typical 50's tiled bathroom:
Very cool and comfortable looking family room in the basement with built in benches:
Finally, here's looking at the two car garage:
