Condition: Despite being built in 1929, the property is move-in ready due to extensive structural, seismic, and system upgrades, as well as updated interiors. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances and white shaker cabinets, complemented by a unique blue tiled countertop and Saltillo tile flooring. Both bathrooms are updated, one with a classic clawfoot tub and the other with a contemporary walk-in shower.

About this home

Imagine a space with an unmistakable sense of warmth and quiet magic, balanced by extensive behind-the-scenes improvements. Up the curved walkway, you’re greeted by a cherished cedar tree, long-established and deeply rooted. The covered front stoop offers welcome shelter on rainy days as you dash home from nearby Poinsett Park, then step inside where soft natural light and thoughtful details set the tone. Choose your adventure: the living room with vaulted ceilings, an oversized picture window, Golden Gate views, and a charming fireplace—or the dining room, which flows into a rich blue-and-brass kitchen, where Saltillo tile floors and Mediterranean influences create a space that feels anything but cookie-cutter. Two full bathrooms help this split-level home live large, including a clawfoot tub beneath the cedar tree. A main-level bedroom adds flexibility, while up a few spritely steps are another sun-filled bedroom, a second full bath, and a third bedroom opening to the garden patio. Downstairs, a sturdy garage and updated foundation reflect meticulous care, with significant seismic and structural upgrades, French drains, and system and appliance improvements. Beyond the front door, the block offers peaceful streets, easy strolls, and a simpler, almost magical way of living.
