About This Home
As of February 2021First time on market in 106 yrs, this charming, spacious & intimate home began as a small cottage. It has many Craftsman features, such as a wide welcoming front door, Redwood board & batten walls, box beam ceilings & a brick fireplace & tile hearth. Many of the massive beams are decoratively notched & there are numerous Redwood alcoves framed by arches. The floor to ceiling windows flood the home with light and create a connection to the verdant vistas and lovely Bay views. On the main floor, many common areas include living room, kitchen, dining room, piano alcove, library and conservatory. Also 1 BD & 1/2 BA. Upstairs are 3 spacious BDs & 1 BA & a special carved high gabled room with various built-ins: desk, twin bed and ladder leading to an attic space, reminiscent of an English cottage. The lower level also has 1 BD, 1 BA, laundry & storage that connects to the garden & garage. Near UC & amenities of Gourmet Village, this historic home is ready for a new owner's upgrades.
