Come home to a beautiful 1930s Mediterranean bungalow, completely renovated yet retaining its timeless style. This 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 1,902 sq ft gem sits on a stunning 6,552 sq ft lot (per public record) nestled among the privacy of giant redwoods, but still boasting plenty of dappled sunlight on two levels of flat garden/play space. Thoughtful plantings adorn the outdoor space giving it a zen garden feel. The home lends itself perfectly to enjoying this wonderful yard with well-placed, conveniently accessed, covered outdoor spaces to enjoy on both levels.
Inside the magic continues! Most rooms are accessed through dramatic arched doorways, and there are rustic random plank wood floors throughout the living areas. The fabulous living room has built-in shelves next to the wood-burning fireplace and French doors open out to a large covered patio featuring an exterior fireplace. The chef’s kitchen includes a Sub-Zero fridge and a new Thor gas range (February 2022). There is plenty of prep space with new quartz countertops and a wet bar for extra projects. When everything is ready you have several serving options, just hand it across the counter into the open dining room or head out to another spacious deck for al fresco meals while taking in the evening sunset.
Down the hall is a tastefully renovated guest bathroom, and the main floor bedroom sits in a private corner. This room could be an office, a den, or a great bedroom. Whatever it’s use, it is the perfect space for a wine lover as it has an attached wine cellar and tasting room.
Upstairs are two more bedrooms both with direct access to the wraparound deck and covered rotunda. The primary bedroom has a renovated en suite bathroom and spacious walk-in closet, with Golden Gate bridge views greeting you each morning from bed. The secondary bedroom has two separate closets, one with built-in drawers and shelving, and another set of French doors leading directly to the Rotunda. Upstairs also includes a third bathroom with original subway and floor tile, a classic tub/shower combo, and plenty of storage.
This is the ultimate “bring the outside in” home! Come see for yourself, the pictures are great, but the reality is frankly indescribable.
