This mid-century split level home built in 1941 offers a unique living space in the East End neighborhood of Fernside. From the street its manicured landscaping and paver stone driveway make for a welcoming sight. Inside, the main level foyer, it's open and inviting. Light from huge picture windows fills the sweeping dining and living rooms. This area is complimented with random oak plank floors, oak window trim, and wood burning fireplace with decorative mantle. Adjacent to the living room is a triangular dining area and alley style kitchen with oak cabinets and leaded glass doors. Stepping over the dark granite tile floor you pass a step-in pantry and breakfast nook. Down a few stairs is the spacious family room with newer carpet and a second wood burning fireplace. Added with permits in 1973, this family room addition was designed and engineered to support a second story such as a master suite en bath. The upstairs features two bedrooms and a hallway bathroom and closet. The lot is 5,712 sq.ft. of playful party space with lovely a backyard that offers a water well and a workshop that doubles as a tiki bar in the summertime. With top schools nearby, a 25 minute ferry ride to San Francisco, Google and Apple campus charter buses to Silicon Valley, this house is a commuter's dream.
