This Home Has Much to Offer

Exceptional 1917 cottage with abundant extra spaces and a studio in the backyard*. This home rests on a large lot with a lovely garden and outdoor social space. A classic cottage floor plan in the heart of Rockridge. This 2-bedroom, 1+ bath home has an old-world, sophisticated charm with beautiful wood floors, traditional details, high ceilings, and an unusually fine built-in dining room cabinet. There is extra space for an office, a large living room and dining room, and a laundry room. So much original charm is still intact. In addition to the charm, there are many pluses: retrofitting done by East Bay Structural, a well-appointed kitchen with a Thermador professional range, a useful garage, an enclosed porch office space, ample storage, a laundry room, and additional basement storage for bikes. The bedrooms are large and light-filled. The secluded garden boasts evening lights, a studio for yoga or an office*, and is fully landscaped for summer soirées. 

Especially desired is access to local fare, epicurean and fun restaurants, cafés, and a library, all just a short distance away. BART access is 2 blocks, Market Hall, Cole Hardware, all just a few blocks West on Keith. There are also many local parks that summon sport and enjoyment. This is an affordable way to live in Rockridge. A dream come true!
