Property Description
This gracious 4+bed, 3.5 bath home will surprise you in many wonderful ways. You don't expect such privacy, or such a spacious traditional just a block to Shattuck, with Walnut Sq. and all that the Gourmet District offers mere blocks to the North. Or head South to UC, BART & downtown. It offers many features that modern buyers seek: surprisingly spacious public rooms bathed in light; a bedroom suite on the main level; an updated kitchen with calming green stone counters, impressive 6-burner gas cooktop & built-in oven. Generous cabinets plus a separate pantry with a super skylight, leading to a delightful deck built around an impressive Japanese Maple. Upstairs off a central landing are two front bedrooms with partial views that share a bath updated with stone shower, tile floor & Toto toilet. A primary suite features a joint bathroom/laundry area with slate floor, soaking tub. Primary bedroom leads through French doors to a bonus sunroom that will likely be a favorite: bathed in light from a skylight & corner leaded glass windows, with sylvan views of that magnificent Maple! Used as an office, library or nursery, it offers a perfect private retreat. There's front garden seating, plus a private back deck & patio for al fresco dining. The ultimate surprise: a separate permitted home climbing gym (or office/studio) with a half bath. Carport with EV charger down shared driveway. Efficient Heat Pump HVAC. HES=5; BESO & sewer compliant.
