Urban living at its finest! This enchanting single-level Craftsman enjoys an A+ location at the Rockridge / Elmwood border - just steps from the most beloved shops and restaurants along College Avenue. Behind its understated entry lies a storybook garden oasis, offering rare tranquility in the heart of the city. Inside, the main home showcases timeless architectural charm, from handcrafted built-ins to box-beamed ceilings. To the left, a vintage sitting room invites quiet reflection; to the right, a bright and contemporary dining room sets the stage for lively gatherings with family and friends.
