Step into the gracious foyer and you feel it immediately — this one is something special. Charming, light-filled, and classically proportioned, this is a home that has been loved thoughtfully and wears it well.
The chef's kitchen is the heart of it all, generous and designed for the way people actually live. An elegant stone fireplace anchors the living space, beautiful windows fill every room with natural light, rich hardwood floors run throughout, and all-level living makes daily life genuinely easy.
The primary bedroom is its own world with an ensuite bath and French doors opening onto an expansive rear deck overlooking the lawn and patio below. A second bedroom and an elegant bath — gorgeous tile floors and a proper clawfoot tub — complete the private living area. A fantastic rear unit — ideal as a private office, studio, or guest suite with its own bath —rests amongst the back patio sharply designed with Belgard pavers, custom landscaping and lighting, offering the kind of flexibility and outdoor living that's exciting to find.
And then there's the basement — an impressive, oversized space wide open with possibility. For anyone with a vision to build it
out, the canvas doesn't get much better than this.
And the location? An epicurean and commuter's dream come true. Just three blocks to BART and minutes to Highway 24, with the very best of Rockridge right at your doorstep: an abundance of beloved restaurants, independent shops, and the award-winning Market Hall. A lengthy driveway means all your parking needs are effortlessly covered and owned solar rounds out a home that is as smart as it is beautiful.
