Extensively renovated and expanded
with great attention to detail, this beautiful two-level Mediterranean-style
residence was constructed approximately 1934. This exceptional property
with views consists of an entry hall, living room, formal dining room,
kitchen, three bedrooms, family room, two bathrooms, powder room and
laundry room. The garage parks one car. There is a walkout patio and
large rear yard.
MAIN LEVEL:
At street level, a covered terrazzo porch leads to the stylish front
door with beveled glass and divided glass sidelights. Once inside the
inviting entry hall, a wide staircase with an attractive mahogany banister
leads up to the main floor of this lovely residence. Down the main floor
hallway at the front south end of the home is the spacious living room.
It has numerous large windows providing bright light, a corner fireplace
and high barrel ceiling. The formal dining room is accessed from the
hallway, living room and kitchen. Stylish plaster ornamentation highlights
the living room and dining room. The sunny high quality newer kitchen
has a skylight and divided light double doors open to a private deck.
There are granite counter tops and maple cabinets, several with display
glass doors. The Viking commercial grade gas range, Subzero built-in
refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher and sink are stainless steel. The public
rooms provide a great environment for entertaining. Behind the kitchen,
the powder room has marble surfaces and a pedestal sink. The laundry
room is located across the hall. Running the entire width of the north
end of the home, the master bedroom suite has a walk-in closet, bay
windows and a motorized skylight. Originally two bedrooms, this big
master bedroom has City, filtered Bay Bridge and east bay views. The
master bathroom is attractively tiled with various colors, tile sizes
and designs. It has a large bathtub and a separate stall shower with
a large window that opens to the private tiled deck.
STREET LEVEL:
Recently developed, this level with high ceilings and recessed lighting
has three rooms offering flexibility for different possible uses. They
are currently being used as a family room with built-in bookshelves
plus two bedrooms, one without a closet. The north wall of one bedroom
is constructed of mostly windows plus double doors that lead out to
the antique French terra-cotta tiled patio and deep rear yard. A tiled
hall bathroom has a stall shower with a clear glass enclosure. There
is interior access to the over-sized one-car garage with automatic garage
door.
NOTES:
There are original parquet hardwood floors with intricate detailing
in the entry hall, main floor hallway, living room and formal dining
room. Newly added hardwood floors with double accent strips are in all
other rooms except the bathrooms. There is an abundance of original
mahogany and newer maple door trim, baseboards and molding. Sound system
speakers are located in the ceiling throughout most of the main floor
and in a room downstairs. The home is equipped with a security system. |
