About This Home

As of December 2021

Jazz Age Elegance and Spectacular Views! This graceful Tudor welcomes you in dramatic style through French doors to a grand room complete with coffered ceilings and panoramic picture windows. A newly renovated kitchen opens onto the dining area, also boasting Bay views, and then to the expansive deck - perfect for hosting sunset gatherings. A private office, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a full bath round out the main floor. Upstairs you’ll find a primary en suite retreat with its own office space, graciously-sized bath and an array of closet options that would thrill the most devoted fashionista. The lower level offers a lofty workshop which spills onto a patio, as well as private guest quarters or possible ADU opportunity. With the southwest exposure you can make all of your gardening dreams come true in the level yard, or simply relax at the end of the day and enjoy the flitting hummingbirds from the hot tub.
