Located in the heart of the Laurel District, 4201 Bayo is a light-filled 2+BD/1BA 1075 sq ft Bungalow with a modern open interior, recently remodeled kitchen, updated bath, detached bonus space ideal for a home office or studio, and a single-car garage with driveway. The home is an inspired oasis; a beautifully landscaped and fenced back yard shaded by mature trees, a lush lawn, expansive deck, redwood pergola, brick patio, and raised planter boxes for the urban farmer.

With a high walkability score, the home is near locally-owned businesses, restaurants, and the well-loved Farmer Joes’ Market. The home is also well-situated near the AC Transit bus line, BART, and commuter corridors.

From the traditional porch, the front door opens onto the spacious common area with burnished redwood floors and a modern sensibility. Oversized picture windows bathe the living room in natural light, and a brick fireplace graces one wall. The adjoining formal dining room features distinctive pendant lights and multi-paned French doors that open onto the expansive deck and beautifully landscaped back yard.

Recently remodeled, the sleek chef’s kitchen features stone countertops with handmade tile backsplash, abundant cabinets, a five-burner gas range with convection oven, and a Bosch dishwasher. Above the wide sink, a sunny window overlooks the back deck.

Off the common area are two generous, light-filled bedrooms, one with a wall of closets. The bedrooms share a stylishly remodeled, modern bath with shower over tub and modern vanity for storage.

The enclosed back yard is an enchanted garden with a lush lawn, mature trees, bamboo, and grasses, as well as fenced beds for an urban garden planted with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, kale, and chili peppers. Beneath a sheltering pergola, an expansive renovated redwood deck and brick patio are ideal for outdoor entertaining or a family barbecue. Alongside the deck is a detached structure with multi-pane windows and French doors - a quiet space for a home office, artist’s studio, or yoga room.

All of this is situated in the vibrant, culturally diverse Laurel neighborhood, near independent businesses and restaurants including the wildly popular Sequoia Diner, Degrees Plato Taproom and Kitchen, and Donut Savant. The neighborhood also has easy access to the redwood forests and miles of hiking trails in Joaquin Miller Park and Redwood Regional Park.
