Perched perfectly in the serene hills of Merced Heights, this south-facing, beautifully updated home offers a rare, breathtaking blend of panoramic nature and ocean views, brimming with natural light throughout. This single family has been well loved by clients for almost 25 years. The entire upper main level has been meticulously prepared for its next chapter, featuring brand-new flooring that flows seamlessly with an interior palette of fresh designer paint that maximizes the home's bright orientation. The layout transitions effortlessly into a grand, open-concept living space, with the dining area serving as the true heart of the household. Culinary enthusiasts and home cooks alike will be immediately drawn to the smartly designed chef's kitchen, which boasts an abundance of storage and workspace for effortless meal preparation. The extended peninsula counter is completed with comfortable bar-style seating, while a skylight directly above the adjoining dining area beautifully brightens the space. Cozy up in the living room, anchored by a charming corner stone fireplace and windows that frame sweeping views stretching out to the Pacific Ocean alongside stunning northern vistas. Down the hall, two generously sized bedrooms offer their own distinct outlooks: the primary bedroom captures the peaceful backyard scenery, while the secondary bedroom features a private balcony perfect for plant enthusiasts. A skylit hall bathroom and a linen closet round out this impeccably designed main level. Downstairs, discover ultimate versatility: a brightly lit family room, a full bathroom, and two flexible rooms ready to become your dream home office, media hub, or fitness studio. Step outside to a low-maintenance, spacious paved backyard perfect for weekend barbecues, outdoor dining, lounging, or a future garden. Complete with a large one-car garage featuring a dedicated laundry area, plus an expansive driveway. Enjoy being at the center of convenience and vibrant city living. This home places you just minutes from Stonestown Galleria, West Portal Avenue, H-Mart, and seamless transit options (HWY 280, M-Muni, and BART). Located less than a block from the fully renovated Merced Heights playground and dog park, 720 Shields is the ultimate urban oasis whether you want a peaceful retreat, local dining, a modern fitness routine, or a happy pup. Hope to see you this weekend!
