Charming Bay Farm Ranch-Style Home With Stunning Gardens + Huge Lot

LISTED AT $895,000
Built in 1950, this charming Bay Farm ranch-style home is situated on a tranquil street next to Godfrey Park, and features two bedrooms, one full and one half bathroom, an open living/dining room, updated kitchen, a laundry/bonus room and an attached, 2-car garage. Situated on a 7,700 SF lot filled with stunning landscaping, this is a wonderful home for indoor/outdoor living, and offers potential for square footage expansion if desired.
The home’s wonderful curb appeal is partially derived from the thoughtful and beautiful landscaping created by the present owners over time. A wide, horizontal front sitting porch is draped with wisteria vines, and a riot of fuchsia bougainvillea adds vivid color while attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. Thick lantana and climbing roses provide even more color, creating a visually stunning effect that’s complemented by a lush green lawn.

Inside, an open living/dining room has plenty of windows for natural light, while sliding glass doors open to the backyard patio making indoor/outdoor entertaining easy! A well-appointed kitchen with ample storage, granite counters and stainless steel appliances is to the right of the dining room, and offers views of the backyard garden and convenient access to the garage.

The home’s bedrooms sit off of a long, sunlit hallway that leads away from the living/dining room toward the back of the house. Both bedrooms feature dual-pane windows and cedar-lined, built-in closet/dressers, and the master bedroom has a ceiling fan and lovely views of the beautiful backyard garden. An upgraded bathroom is conveniently situated between the bedrooms and features a granite-topped vanity and a bath/shower combination.

A special feature of this sweet home is the exceptional backyard that is truly a gardener’s dream and enclosed by a lattice fence for privacy. Apple, fig and lemon trees grace the garden, along with vegetable beds, native grasses, and palm trees. Additional features include an expansive covered patio, a greenhouse, gazebo and a garden shed.

This cozy, updated home has so much to offer: A literal garden of delights on an oversized lot, wonderful Godfrey Park at its doorstep, and a location that’s close to Corica Park Golf Course, great schools, Harbor Bay Landing shopping, the SF Ferry, Oakland Airport, and so much more.
