Property Description

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 with quiet, enduring warmth. 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 — an ensuite bath and French doors opening onto an expansive rear deck overlooking the lawn and patio below make it a place you'll never want to leave. A second bedroom and an elegant bath — gorgeous tile floors and a proper clawfoot tub — round it out perfectly. A fantastic rear unit — ideal as a private office or studio 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? A commuter's dream. 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 private driveway means all your parking needs are covered and owned solar rounds out a home that is as smart as it is beautiful. This one will charm you for sure!
