About This Home

As of March 2023

Set eyes on 5451 Barrett Ave & fall in love. The head-turning curb appeal of this 1935 Spanish Revival stunner is exceptional with its arched windows, red tile roof & original wrought iron - classic elements of a Mediterranean dream home. Step through the front door with its original hardware & be captivated by curving arches & the storybook staircase. Be wowed by the grand, light-filled living room: a space for gathering around the original fireplace & relaxing in the rays of sunshine streaming through the many large windows. With hardwood floors throughout, the charm extends to the formal dining room w/garden views & built-ins. Spanish tile floors accent the eat-in kitchen, updated w/ luxurious cabinets, handmade tiles & granite counters. The main level offers a sweet bedroom with built-ins & the convenience of a half bath & laundry. At the top of the sun-washed staircase are 2 additional bedrooms, generously proportioned & filled with natural light. The primary bedroom has a picturesque balcony, the perfect spot for your morning coffee. Delightful vintage tile distinguishes the 2nd floor bathroom with its separate tub & shower. You’ll be enchanted by the walled garden with olive & lemon trees, the crunch of gravel underfoot. Convenient to I80, BART, parks, restaurants & more.
