In St. Jerome's, people put down deep roots, making this 1940s split-level bungalow a rare chance to join the neighborhood. Thoughtfully updated by its current owners, the kitchen was remodeled with cooking at its core — featuring a Bosch fridge, Bertazzoni oven and range — the chef in your life will feel right at home. New flooring and dual-pane windows throughout make life quieter and more comfortable. The flexible layout offers one bedroom and a full bath on the lower level, plus two bedrooms and a second full bath upstairs with Mount Tam and hillside views. Large picture windows fill the home with natural light, and the eat-in kitchen opens to a sunny yard with grass and a deck for dining. Just blocks from Solano Ave, Fat Apples, Memorial Park, and more, this is the kind of neighborhood where people settle in for decades.
