Vintage Character in Downtown Reimagined for Today
Reflecting the Minimal Traditional style that shaped the first wave of postwar housing, this circa 1946 bungalow has been meticulously updated for modern living while carefully preserving its original character. Extensive improvements completed in 2025 and 2026 respect the home’s heritage, including beautifully restored wood sash double hung windows with original wavy glass and refinished rich brown hardwood floors. New custom three-piece crown moldings, baseboards, and casings were introduced in keeping with the home’s vintage aesthetic, complemented by designer lighting, a sophisticated colorful palette and high-end brass hardware. The result is a fresh interpretation of the home’s early character with modern-day comfort, efficiency, and style.
The single-level floor plan has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath in approximately 879* square feet. Living and dining areas flow together beside a limestone fireplace, while corner windows bring abundant natural light into the interiors. The adjoining kitchen retains its vintage appeal with painted cabinetry, tiled counters and backsplashes accented in cobalt blue, along with a classic Wedgewood gas range.
Both bedrooms feature blonde cork flooring and overhead lighting, including one with a walk-in closet and glass door to the rear yard. The updated bath continues the aesthetic with soft green tile and a glass-enclosed tub with overhead shower.
The pollinator-friendly gardens are an integral part of the property, beginning with David Austin “Charlotte” yellow tea roses, Japanese maple trees, oak leaf hydrangeas, and a prolific vegetable garden at the front. The private rear yard features a restored old-growth redwood deck, level lawn, and an array of fruit trees. A gated paver driveway extends alongside the home to a sizeable detached structure of approximately 897* square feet, where three distinct bays provide a 1-car garage, flexible workshop space, and approved plans for a 399-square-foot ADU.
Significant infrastructure improvements further enhance the home with a 6.6 kW owned solar system, Tesla Powerwall III, upgraded 200-amp electrical panel, whole-home attic fan, and new roof with ridge vents.
The established neighborhood setting adds the finishing touch, with the center of downtown Mountain View just one-half mile away. Castro Street dining and shopping, Caltrain, light rail, the Mountain View Library, multiple parks, and the farmers’ market are all close at hand, along with acclaimed Mountain View schools, including Los Altos High.
