Property Narrative • Architectural Remarks
It is rare to find such a sweet remodeled home tucked into a natural environment with a creekside sanctuary this close to downtown, and yet here it is. The owner invested in high-quality, artistic design and the best finishes, including Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, newer Pella windows, and modern lighting. The upper split level has two bedrooms and one bathroom, with vibrant colors, a Murphy Bed in one room, and built-in closets throughout. The kitchen is sleek and modern with Miele appliances and a vintage Wedgewood stove. The open-concept kitchen, living room, and dining area are open and light, with plenty of storage space. Skylights let the sun shine in, and the vaulted ceiling expands the sense of space. The living room features a modern gas fireplace. This is a small home with big ideas. A large redwood deck extends from the kitchen, along with two large outdoor patios: one very sunny and the other a wooded sanctuary next to a year-round creek. The property extends across the creek to Lincoln Avenue, which creates a greenspace buffer. It is surprisingly quiet inside and out given its proximity to the 101 and must be seen to be appreciated. Train lovers will enjoy the periodic passing of the Smart Train across the street. There is a large storage area under the house, as well as a large 1-car garage. A whole-house attic fan helps offset the need for AC. All work was done in 2015 with permits and includes a fire suppression sprinkler system. There is still work to do on the house, but the inside is in exceptional condition and ready to move in. This is a great condo alternative, or you can expand as the neighbors have on both sides. This will not last long at this price. Overflow parking at the end of the street by the deli; a 1-minute walk past cute homes.
