Just a few blocks from chic cafés and shops on a picturesque tree-lined street is this charming Craftsman bungalow that enjoys all the fine services Piedmont has to offer. Inviting period details including inlaid hardwood floors, high coved ceilings and generous casework highlight this light-filled home. Whether you are seeking urban conveniences, excellent public schools or a neighborhood park for play or an off-leash dog, everything is close by.
Imagine a rocking chair on the front porch where you can chat with your neighbors as they pass by. When it’s time to head inside, the welcoming foyer greets you and your guests. The elegant living room with a fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases flows through tapered columns into the adjoining dining room. A striking box beamed ceiling and built-in buffet add drama as you host your holiday feasts and intimate dinner parties.
The kitchen features new stainless appliances including a Bosch dishwasher, four-burner gas range and refrigerator. An adjacent breakfast room with double French doors leads to the private backyard. This open space offers the perfect canvas for your finishing touches to create your dream kitchen.
Three spacious bedrooms are along their own wing separated from the public areas. The updated bathroom has a combination tub/shower and a closet for storage.
The lower level boasts a large family room with a half bath and access to the rear grounds. There is plenty of space for movie nights, sleepover parties, your home office and visiting guests. You’ll also find the laundry facilities including a sink and storage area.
If easy outdoor living is what you are looking for, then you have found it. Both the front and back lawns are perfect for play. The rear brick patio is the spot for lounging and dining under the stars. Use your green thumb in the planting beds around the property. A long driveway to a detached garage offers plenty of off-street parking and room for a game of one-on-one basketball.
Whether you are commuting to San Francisco or beyond, public transportation is close by, including two BART stations just minutes away. If you have some leisure time, leave the car at home to seek out your favorite coffee spot, enjoy a scoop of Fenton’s ice cream, take in a movie or pick up dinner. A walkscore of 71.
