1026 Fountain St.

An unassuming bungalow in 1937, the home is now a beautiful showcase for innovative design. The main level features a bright, sunny great room that provides plenty of flexible space for intimate family gatherings or larger celebrations. Details include an elegant hickory floor, recessed lighting and energy efficient Simonton windows that fill the room with natural light. The open kitchen has a fantastic 1940s enamel Roper range, a wall of windows overlooking the backyard, and offers plenty of space for an island or additional cabinetry if desired. The original split-level staircase with wrought-iron railings leads from the great room to the home’s original two bedrooms and full bathroom. Both well-sized bedrooms have the original oak floors, crown moulding and new light fixtures, while the updated bathroom has brilliant white finishes and a tub/shower combination.

A third level addition is a fabulous primary bedroom retreat that blends seamlessly with the rest of the home. This gorgeous suite measures over 650 square feet, and includes a custom walk-in closet, and a spacious en-suite bathroom (150 SF). The bedroom includes a reading nook, a sliding barn door made from reclaimed wood, and a handsome hardwood floor. The spa-like bathroom is truly a treat for the senses! Entered through a pair of contemporary sliding barn doors, this exceptional space offers imported Italian tiles, a freestanding Oceania soaking tub, a lovely double vanity, and a two-person, custom rain shower with a river stone floor.

Situated on a corner lot, the large backyard has been newly landscaped and offers privacy with a pretty redwood fence made with reclaimed redwood from the Santa Cruz area. The yard has a poured concrete patio for entertaining, new raised vegetable planter beds and new landscaping. An attractive backyard shed with windows, a full-lite door and a finished floor can be used for an office, a studio or for additional storage.

1026 Fountain Street offers a contemporary home that boasts both a vintage heritage and new construction amenities. Situated across from Otis Elementary School and a short distance to Lincoln Middle School, this desirable East End location is close to Krusi and Lincoln parks, the beach and shoreline paths, Encinal Market and all that Southshore Center has to offer. This home promises to be appreciated and enjoyed by a fortunate new owner for many years to come.
