Built in 1916, this charming and warm bungalow contains many features common to that era. The home is virtually level-in needing only three steps to the front door and a large, tiled entry with picture windows facing north and east. There are partial views mt. Tam and san francisco bay. The adjacent living room is quite spacious running the width of the house. It has hardwood floors, wainscotting, a wood-burning fireplace and west facing, double pane, sliding windows overlooking the garden as well as large, double pane, sliding windows facing the street. Next to the living room is a sunny, formal dining room with hardwood floors and double pane picture and casement windows facing west and overlooking the garden. At the far, south end there is a small 'hutch' space suitable for a computer desk. There is a 'hutch/buffet, partially stripped of paint in the garage. Whether it's from the dining room is unknown. The kitchen has been extensively remodeled. There are new cabinets, corion counters with under counter sink, linoleum tile floors, a gas oven-range, dishwasher, refrigeratorand garbage disposal. Above the sink is a large sliding/picture window facing west and overlooking the garden. Past the kitchen and leading out to the back yard is a pantry/laundryroom with a stack washer/dryer and ample cabinet space. There are south and west facing double pane windows providing more than adequate natural light. The two bedrooms separated by the single bathroom are on the left side of the house as viewed from the curb, a very traditional arrangement. In this case the difference being is that the front bedroom is behing the living room thus shielded from street noise and the second bedroom is at the rear facing the back yard. The bathroom has had some upgrading. Both bedrooms as well as the hallway have hardwood floors. All the hardwood floors were installed approximately 5 years ago and generally are in excellent condition. The house is sited on the lot which is just under 6, 000 square feet in such a manner that the yard space is maximized. The setback on the east side is only 2. 5 feet thus there is a side yard running the entire west side of the parcel and a smaller back yard at the south end of the parcel. The yards are completely fenced. There is a detached, one-car garage suitable for a mini cooper sized car and a long, gated driveway providing ample off-street parking. All the appliances are included in the sales price and there is a working hot tub as well. Property reports are available upon request.
