Turnkey East End 1930s Cottage On A Beautifully Landscaped Corner Lot

LISTED AT $995,000

Built in 1939 on a large corner lot in a desirable East End neighborhood only blocks to Edison Elementary School and downtown Park St, this charming vintage home is reminiscent of a sweet English cottage! Surrounded by lush, beautiful gardens with colorful landscaping that was designed to create privacy as well as beauty, this single-level home offers two bedrooms, one updated bathroom, formal living and dining rooms, an attractively updated kitchen, a full laundry/mud room and a detached garage that includes a studio and potting shed. Set back from the street behind a garden filled with azalea, climbing roses, Japanese maple and ginkgo trees, the home offers 1930s charm and wonderful curb appeal.

Inside, an entry hall separates a traditional living room on the right from the sunlit dining room straight ahead. The spacious living room provides an ideal place to gather with family and friends, and features the original wide-plank oak floor, a gas fireplace with a classic brick surround and vintage wood mantel, crown moulding and large picture windows that showcase the beautiful front garden. The formal dining room has crown moulding, casement windows that provide views of the lush green side yard, a stylish new pendant light fixture, and the same handsome oak floor found in the living room. The large kitchen sits behind the dining room, updated with refaced cabinets, striking quartz counters, and stainless steel Wolf, Jenn-Air and Bosch appliances. Dual-pane windows in the kitchen, and the entire home, were installed in 2021, providing energy efficiency while minimizing urban sounds. A full laundry room off of the kitchen has a Dutch door that leads to the backyard garden, and can easily double as a mud room. The home’s well-sized bedrooms are situated to the right of the dining room and kitchen, and have vintage oak floors, crown moulding, garden views and abundant natural light. The bathroom sits between the bedrooms, and features a quartz-topped double vanity, a bathtub plus a walk-in shower.

One of the many special features of this lovely home is the stunning front, back and side gardens thoughtfully designed by the present owners to create naturally occurring privacy using green screens, and are visible from nearly every room in the house. Apple, olive, orange, lime, and lemon trees grace the property, while blueberry bushes and grape vines sit alongside masses of roses bushes! Beautifully maintained and curated, the home’s magical gardens include pathways, water features, lighting and seating areas, providing tranquil spaces and visual delight. In addition, a detached garage with a Siemens EV charger sits to one side of the garden, and includes an attached studio and potting workspace.

2800 Windsor offers spacious, sunlit rooms within a pleasing traditional floor plan, all just minutes to top schools, Nob Hill Foods, and the many amenities on downtown Park Street. With easy access to I-880, BART and the SF Ferry to Oakland and San Francisco, this fabulous, turnkey home is truly exceptional.
