About This Home

As of August 2024

Stately elegance and classic charm await you at 1265 Sierra Ave. Built in 1916 and appearing in Issue 54 of American Bungalow Magazine, this Craftsman proudly features intentionally original wooden details, built-ins, and Douglas Fir flooring, while being updated for modern living and comfort. This expansive, 2 story home has a convenient floor plan, with a bedroom and full bath downstairs. The den plus closet & ensuite bathroom could be an additional bedroom. The kitchen and breakfast nook offer plenty of space for serious home cooks or enjoying takeout from any of the several, top-rated restaurants that are moments away from your doorstep. A private oasis awaits you out back, featuring a detached & climate-controlled ADU/granny suite (~572 sqft) built in 2018 with a full bath and kitchen sink, a deck for al fresco dining, a sparkling swimming pool, and refreshed landscaping. Will you open the units custom carriage house doors and park your car? Will you use it as a rental, extra living space, or countless options in between? All this and more is included on the nearly 7,000 sqft lot, with new fencing and topped off with a BRAND NEW ROOF on the main home. Add its location near major employers, shopping, schools, and transit and you'll see why this home is not to be missed!
