The best of Bay Area living is in the heart of Prime Rockridge where this fully renovated 6BD/4.5BA home includes a 2BD/1BA ADU, offering a modern lifestyle in the architectural richness of a 1912 Craftsman. Through a bougainvillea covered gate, a lush garden and gracious porch welcome you to this spectacular 3869 SQFT home. Beginning with the splendid foyer, gorgeous original woodwork, wainscotting, pocket doors, hardwood floors, crown molding, and period lighting exude Old World charm. The living room enjoys a large picture window and a fireplace flanked by windows and two matching glass cabinets. Beautiful woodwork continues into the dining room with a coffered ceiling and a huge built-in buffet with exquisite beveled glass. An adjacent flexible room has walls of casement windows and is ideal as a ground-floor bedroom, office, or playroom. Perfect flow leads to the spectacular, chef’s eat-in kitchen with skylights, farmhouse sink, island with a seated bar, high-end appliances, and plenty of space for a full dining table against a bank of windows.
For seamless indoor/outdoor living, step out the kitchen’s glass door onto the deck overlooking the backyard. With mature landscaping, a patio, and a lawn, there’s plenty of room for entertaining or play. Back inside, the first floor is complete with a giant pantry and a full bath. Upstairs find two large, bright bedrooms that share a full bath and an enclosed sleeping porch- perfect for an office, study hall, or playroom. One bedroom also has a half bath. The primary bedroom has its own ensuite bath with fabulous tile work and modern shower, as well as a thoughtfully-designed walk-in modular closet. This floor has storage and convenience with the home’s original cupboards for linens and a laundry chute.
On the lower level, you’ll find more storage, a laundry room, and an ADU with access from both inside and an exterior door. With two roomy bedrooms, the ADU has been built to match the home’s luxury with top-of-the-line appliances in the kitchen and contemporary tiling in the bathroom. French doors open to the backyard.
Rare for Rockridge, this home has parking galore with a two car garage and multiple tandem parking spaces.
