Quintessential Brown Shingle Craftsman is a celebration of architectural preservation enhanced by a professional interior designer to highlight the home’s most enchanting features. Big welcoming front porch ushers you into a world of spacious public rooms, architectural details, and a hushed elegance that defies current trends. Decorative fireplaces in the spacious living and dining rooms are a nod to cozy, convivial evenings. Updated kitchen manages to be both timeless and modern. The two bedrooms each have an en suite full bath, and a bonus nook overlooking the rear garden serves as a home office or pantry. Just off the kitchen, the dappled, tranquil backyard provides space for grilling, dining, lounging, gardening and play. Poised at the intersection of Rockridge and Elmwood, the home is two blocks from the heart of College Avenue and all that is wonderful and convenient. Myriad cafes, restaurants, local shopping, and transportation options are at your fingertips. From ‘best burger’ Wood Tavern to curated European-style shops at Market Hall to the iconic Elmwood Theater, the world is your oyster with almost infinite possibility.
