This 1917 Craftsman has been home to just four owners. It still holds many of its original detail and layout. Four bedrooms and two and a half baths with provisions for an additional ¾ bath. Two and a half stories with full basement; Over 7500sf of enclosed space.
Many period details from the narrow-plank, quarter-sawn white oak floors, waxed and oiled, to the eucalyptus wood built-ins. Doors too, are eucalyptus and finished in the traditional shellac.
A modern kitchen that provides ample space for preparing for and hosting gatherings. Double-oven, double dishwashers, two sink/prep areas and high-end appliance are included in the sale.
This is a home for entertaining. Huge living and dining rooms to accommodate large groups. Smaller rooms and nooks for intimate gatherings. The food-prep space is large and well-appointed and serves perfectly when the party migrates into the kitchen.
Modern work is behind the walls too. All plumbing within the home is modern; both supply and DWV. The hydronic heating system boasts a boiler installed in 2018 and all modern piping. The home has both cast-iron radiation and in-floor heat, located beneath all tile surfaces. Modern circuit breakers and Romex wiring replaces all original knob-and-tube materials. Air conditioning is provided by a mini-split system with 3 separate air handlers.
An attached, heated garage includes a bike-garage at its side as well as a bonus play-room in the garage attic, complete with disco-ball.
