This adorable farmhouse-style family home at the foot of the Oakland Hills was built in 1910 and has lots of period charm. Easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants of the thriving Laurel District, and just a few minutes from the playgrounds, parks, trails and woods of Robert's Regional Recreation Area. Three upstairs bedrooms have plenty of windows looking out in every direction, and all are warm with rich built-in woodwork and original hardwood floors. A bright and airy remodeled bathroom invites with classic bungalow architecture, high-end fixtures, and a substantial clawfoot tub with shower. On the ground floor, a bonus bedroom opens onto the deck with its own entrance and features more built-in solid wood cabinets. The bathroom downstairs is spacious, beautifully tiled, and has another full-size tub with shower enclosure. You will love entertaining guests in the giant front living room, with its coved ceilings and archways, and original wood trimwork. Throughout the house, the original hardwood flooring is intact. The expansive, remodeled kitchen retains a rustic feel with a warm fir plank floor and vintage O'Keefe & Merritt range. A generous amount of tiled countertops and beautiful cabinetry make this a great place to cook together. And those special meals pass through to a formal dining room with a lighted, built-in china cabinet and additional storage for dishes and linens. Downstairs is a large basement with plenty of windows and an additional entrance to the garden. There is plenty of space for a workout room, office, playroom or guest bedroom, and a full-size washer and gas dryer are included. An extra, lighted walk-in closet and built-in storage cabinets make this space a huge bonus. Outside, a broad and inviting porch receives the day's first light and is the natural place to enjoy your morning coffee. Lighted, landscaped paths wrap around the house behind locking redwood gates. The lush back yard features a large custom deck shaded by fruit trees, perfect for summer barbecues and outdoor dinners. The garden, fertile with years of soil work, receives full summer sun and is capable of yielding beefsteak tomatoes! Across the back yard is a large garden house with sunny windows, lights and powera great workshop, artist's studio or just a place to re-pot flowers. Gardeners, included in the rent, tend to the yards. The 2-car detached garage has separate remotes, lighting, power, a bike rack and space for lots of storage. The rear door from the garage opens onto the back deck, so groceries can go straight in through the kitchen door. The house has a complete ADT security system with integrated fire sensors and is cable ready throughout. Location is fantastic for commuters. Highways 13/24, 580/880 are all minutes away, and you can walk to the SF express bus just over on High Street. Come see this cute and comfortable house on Monday the 28th between 6:30 and 7:30 PM.
