Making home a sanctuary was the dream for the current owners, an architect & landscape designer. You walk into a sweet living room where you can cozy up to the super efficient gas fireplace or head to work or for a workout in the bonus space garage currently used as a home office and gym. The dining room is open, light filled with original woodwork and built-in all restored by the owner. Off the dining room, the bedrooms are nicely separated for privacy and there are wood floors throughout. The kitchen is a world of its own! You can throw open the exquisite extra-wide custom french doors, and your entire eat-in kitchen becomes an al fresco dining experience! Out on the deck you are surrounded with gorgeous succulents in your drought-tolerant, low maintenance garden. A large basement can be accessed from the garden & has plentiful storage. Ideally located near Temescal's shops, breweries, & restaurants as well as BART & AC Transit. 853-45thSt.com
