Sited on a lush lot overlooking a peaceful block in Rockridge, this stately two-story Craftsman home is one block to College Ave., and captures the imagination of everyone who passes by. Cherished and gently updated over its 100+ years, it retains charming architectural details. Elegant main level has an open living room, dining room and kitchen layout. Sunny bedroom with French doors opens directly to the rear gardens. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms include a spacious primary graced by a tree-filled vista and peek of San Francisco. Bonus den has level-out access to a deck perched over the garden -- a tranquil spot for morning coffee or an afternoon pause. An auxiliary kitchen provides handy snack and beverage prep. Outside, more treasures to discover: Tucked into the rear garden, a detached studio cottage with bath makes a cheerful office, exercise room or guest space. Enclosed yard offers a blissful sanctuary with brick patio and large deck for lounging and dining. Right out your front door, all the beloved Rockridge amenities are at your fingertips, from fine dining to casual cafes, a multitude of shopping and commute options, and neighboring communities of Elmwood, Temescal, and Piedmont Ave. Leave the car at home; the accessibility of this location is unmatched!
