About This Home

As of February 2021

Sweet Mediterranean stucco, two doors from Colusa Cir., on a large, level 6360 SF lot with San Francisco and Tam views. Light-filled living room has high coved ceilings and period fireplace. Fully renovated skylit kitchen has porcelain-tile floor, quartz counter, dual fuel Wolfe 5-burner gas range and convection oven - just a hint of the quality throughout this home. Two main-level bedrooms - one overlooking the deep yard and views - and 2 fully remodeled baths. Walk-out lower level has a "plus" bedroom/office, laundry room with Miele washer and dryer, and loads of storage. Extensive permitted renovations over the past decade: engineered seismic retrofit, high-efficiency Bryant furnace, central A/C with anti-microbial light, new roof, mutliple skylights. Replumbed and rewired, this house is perfectly sited for solar. The garage has been opened front-and-rear to allow access to the deep backyard, where ADU potential beckons.
