About This Home

As of March 2021

Quintessential Elmwood expanded Craftsman bungalow, with an approx 616 sq.ft (per appraisal from Trust) cottage ADU, set in a landscaped private backyard. The main house features wonderful wood details, lots of windows and skylights emitting natural light throughout.

The vacant cottage consists of one bedroom with its own sunny deck and one bathroom, large living space and adjacent kitchen with gas cooktop, free-standing convection oven, dishwasher and refrigerator. There's a small "closet" like office and a walk-in closet. Located in the fabulous Elmwood neighborhood—only one block to College Ave. shops, restaurants, BART, parks and schools. The walk score of 95 is a Walker's Paradise!
