This superb 1915 Craftsman is the perfect mix of original charm and thoughtful modern updates. The living room is large and light-filled, with inlaid hardwood floors and pocket doors that lead to the handsome formal dining. The bright kitchen beckons with its quartz counters and pretty tile backsplash. Stunning garden and hill views await in the three large bedrooms on this level. A full bath with lovely vintage tile gives an echo to the past, along with the adjacent powder room. There is access to an attic with soaring ceilings that has the potential to develop as a third floor or use as storage. Downstairs is a spacious, light-filled apartment with its own entry, as well as a laundry room with access to the two-car garage, and home office. The huge yard has something for everyone - a patio for entertaining, a large lawn, vegetable beds, and a lounge area for relaxing under the Redwood trees. A trellis of jasmine scents the air and apple, plum, and fig trees provide plenty of shade.
