About This Home

As of March 2021

This brown shingled Craftsman is within blocks of the UC campus, the Rose Garden & the Gourmet Ghetto. In 2009 the house was renovated down to the studs to maximize energy efficiency, comfort, and style. The 3 bed/2.5 bath main home features Bay views & separate office off the master bedroom. A fully-permitted 800 sq. ft., 2 bed/2 bath rental unit was completed in 2020. W/a separate entrance, full kitchen, in-unit laundry, & radiant heat, this contemporary space can be adapted for a range of needs. W/ this flexible design--you have the option of a 3 bed/2.5 bath home with the additional 2/2 unit, or a 5 bed/4.5 bath home. This home features solar panels, LED lights, Loewen double pane windows , top-end kitchen appliances, tankless water heater, detached garage, Walk Score of 91, & a seismically updated foundation. And...you will find inviting gardens, both front and back. This home looks like a traditional brown shingle, but it "lives" like a modern home.
