About This Home

As of November 2022

This wonderful home has a larger, unique floorplan and detached, backyard workshop, paving the way for many options, such as large households seeking privacy, or division for a multiunit-like living arrangement. Many beautiful vintage details throughout have been preserved, including the gorgeous wide plank wood flooring, 1940's kitchen cabinetry and MCM upstairs bathroom. The new stainless appliances in the kitchen feature an electric stove with air fryer oven and the option for a gas range with gas line and valve present behind stove. The home is conveniently located just a block off of University Avenue, next to a cute neighborhood park, near restaurants, and only a few short blocks away from BART. Parking is available in the attached garage that directy accesses the kitchen entry. Come visit this home and make it yours.
