Inside, evidence of original Craftsman workmanship is everywhere with preserved period details and architectural features. The light-filled, formal living room is largely open to the dining room, separated by pony walls with a built-in display cabinet on one side, and a flip-down writing desk on the other. The living room has a stunning stone fireplace, tray ceiling, and a handsome vintage oak floor that continues into most rooms in the home. The dining room is spacious enough for large gatherings, yet intimate enough for family meals. Abundant natural light, a tray ceiling and a lovely built-in sideboard/china cabinet contribute to the room’s considerable charm. The updated kitchen behind the dining room has stainless steel appliances, a center island, and is more than spacious enough to create a dream kitchen customized to someone’s particular needs and style. Like most traditional vintage Craftsman homes, this home’s two original bedrooms and one bathroom are situated off a dedicated hallway to the right of the living and dining rooms. The primary bedroom at the front of the house is next to the living room, and has windows with a view of the picturesque front sitting porch. Both bedrooms are well sized, and have hardwood floors, crown moulding and stylish new light fixtures. The updated bathroom includes a tub/shower combination. A sunny third bedroom at the rear of the house is next to the kitchen, and has views of the gorgeous backyard and gardens. This flexible third bedroom makes an ideal nursery, family room, guest room or home office. A notable feature of this special home is the fabulous backyard with something to please everyone! The level, oversized yard includes an island for grilling, a large paver patio, vegetable beds, a spectacular magnolia tree, and fruiting lemon, tangerine, nectarine, peach, apricot and pear trees — even a greenhouse! The 454-square-foot detached garage with a cathedral ceiling has ADU, home office or workshop conversion potential, while a deep driveway includes a security gate, and provides tandem parking for multiple vehicles. Wonderfully situated just minutes to top schools, the South Shore Center, the SF Bay shoreline and beach, this enchanting vintage home is simply perfection!
