This delightful Craftsman sits within a stone’s throw of Alameda Ridge, a favorite attraction for walkers and runners with its hidden public staircases that connect neighbors to one another. Tree-lined streets, nearby parks and the fabulous eateries on Fremont Street put a coffee or cocktail at your fingertips, with over 70 small businesses in Beaumont Village.
Built in 1917, this home invites you into rooms that have moods. There is the sunroom, which begs for books and plants, and the cabin-in-the-woods room, which asks for a cup of tea or a glass of bourbon. The beautifully light-filled living room features a gas-burning fireplace, bay window, oak floors and vaulted ceiling. Sunlight coming through the dining room windows casts shadows on the built-in sideboard.
The two bedrooms on the main level share the remodeled bath with its lovely walk-in shower, artist tile and maple built-ins. Don’t miss the walk-in closet in the primary bedroom, with customized racks for shoes and coats. I love a sunny kitchen with easy access to the backyard. Check. Insulated wood windows, loads of cabinetry, quartz counters and updated appliances make this L-shaped kitchen quaint but mighty.
Downstairs, there’s a family room complete with oversized closets, a generous laundry room, a full bath, and a cedar-paneled room that could act as a 4th non-conforming bedroom (add an egress window for more sunlight and safety).
You must see the craftsmanship outside, folks. There is new cedar fencing and a custom wooden electronic gate in the driveway that operates with a fob. The Ipe hardwood and Dasso deck boards with cabled railing on the backyard ramp let guests and pets who no longer do stairs feel comfortable. The garage is long and has room for a canoe, bike storage or creative projects. Drip lines weave between a planting design of flowers, maple trees and greenery designed by Habit Gardens.
Mechanical perks: newer sewer line, plus new furnace and AC in 2023.
