About This Home
As of August 2025Welcome to 5465 Kales Avenue - possibly the cutest cottage on the block!! Ideally situated in the heart of Rockridge, just a few doors up from College Avenue, this updated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home blends original details with modern updates. Originally built as a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home with details galore, step inside and feast your eyes on hardwood floors, wainscoting, detailed moldings, and a vintage brick fireplace. The refreshed eat-in kitchen features subway tile and granite countertops with views out the multiple windows to the back deck and expansive backyard. Also featured on the main level are a full bath, bedroom, and living room. Upstairs, you’ll find a leafy retreat: the primary bedroom offers a dramatic pitched ceiling, tranquil tree views, and an ensuite bath with laundry. Seize the opportunity to live on one of the most special tree-lined streets in the neighborhood... imagine yourself relaxing on the sweet front porch, greeting neighbors, and handing out Halloween treats. Don’t forget the many wonderful shops and restaurants on College Avenue. Close to Frog Park, public transportation and freeways. A must-see!
