Built in 1926 and situated perfectly on one of the community’s most sought after streets, this stunning shake sided English stands today as a testament to the strengths of 1920s architecture and design. Careful stewardship and thoughtful updating are evident across this entire property.
As you approach the home you are greeted with an open porch nicely perched above the yard and sidewalk, and a custom fir screen door which leads you into the classic 20’s floor plan. A broad shouldered living room anchors the southwest end of the main floor, while an open, light filled dining room introduces you to the stunning, updated kitchen at the north end. The kitchen has been updated with new cabinetry, appliances, hard surfaces and Marmoleum flooring. The floors that run through the adjacent formal spaces are the original oak hardwoods which have been meticulously cared for with the addition of a gorgeous Swedish finish. Leaded glass windows, original casing and millwork and a prominent wood burning fireplace round off the period finishes meticulously cared for by the owners. To the east of the main floor are two bedrooms and a full bathroom with hex-tiled flooring, pedestal sink and built-in cabinetry.
The second floor is home to an expansive bedroom with new carpet, updated windows and a sweet half bathroom. The upstairs comprises over 300 square feet and has great upside for expansion. The lower level has been beautifully remodeled to include an expansive family room, fourth bedroom, gracious storage room and full bathroom. The bathroom boasts subway field tiling for the bath surround and wainscotting with hex-tiled flooring and the perfect introduction of color from the stained wood vanity. Rounding out the basement is a laundry room, mechanical area and ample room for hobbies or storage.
Complimenting the basement storage is a gorgeous detached garage which anchors the northeast corner of the property and features an amazing roof system that extends beyond the garage footprint to shelter a large swath of the stamped concrete patio. The backyard garage and patio are also surrounded by gorgeous landscaping which includes incredible plantings from the owner’s family nursery.
With three beautifully appointed floors, a backyard that would make the pages of Sunset magazine and a physical location just feet from Beaumont Village shops and located within the sought after Alameda catchment area, this property is one to take note of.
