About This Home

As of August 2020

Handsome Tudor Revival style home tucked away in its private garden. From the diamond pane leaded glass windows to the hand painted mural in the entry hall, this home is full of character. There are views of the Bay and the Golden Gate from the spacious, light filled living room. From the sun room, enjoy views of the sunny, upslope garden – a garden perfect for exercising your green thumb. For those working from home, the lower level has ample space for home offices, or a guest suite with bathroom. On the second floor, the master bedroom also has western views to the Golden Gate. Great neighborhood location near amenities on Upper Shattuck, the UC campus, and AC Transit access.
