About This Home

As of June 2025

First time on the market in 68 years by the original owner! This 3 bed/1 bath single-level home exudes mid-century modern vibes and sits mid-way between Solano and Westbrae shops and dining, and close to top-rated schools. Enter through a new front door with switchable clear-to-opaque glass for flexible light or privacy. Clerestory windows in the living room pour in natural light, highlighting a raked ceiling and exposed beams—dramatic by day, cozy by fireplace on cooler nights. The kitchen’s wood features--cabinets, a custom built-in hutch and refinished parquet floors—provide a natural warm ambience. Off the hallway are three bedrooms, each with a generous-sized closet. Keep the bathroom vintage charm or update to a new style. In front, a driveway and carport provide off-street parking as well as a gathering space--outdoor dining or drinks with neighbors and friends. Plus, a storage shed holds life’s overflow. The backyard is perfect for gardening or relaxing, or letting Fido romp. With a Walk Score of 92 and a 98 Bike Score, you can leave the car at home and still be enjoying fluffy pancakes at Sam’s Log Cabin, lox and schmear at Hella Bagels, fresh croissants at Patisserie Rotha, in no time flat. Also close to groceries, parks, schools, library, BART, and freeway access.
