Set above a colorful front garden bursting with blooms and framed by tall greenery, this lovingly maintained split-level bungalow offers a perfect blend of charm, character, and comfort. With its warm curb appeal and tranquil setting on a peaceful, tree-lined street, the home has an intuitive floorplan offering tranquility throughout. Inside, you'll find original details like rich hardwood plank floors and period built-ins, along with peeks of the Bay and filtered views of San Francisco that bring a sense of magic to everyday life. The living and dining rooms flow effortlessly together around a central fireplace, creating a welcoming space for gathering and entertaining. The cheerful, vintage-style kitchen opens to a backyard sanctuary where nature, privacy, and relaxation reign. Outdoors, unwind under a garden canopy, soak in the private hot tub, or explore your creative side in the detached studio, ideal as a guest room, office, or workshop. Fruit trees, mature landscaping, and thoughtfully designed outdoor rooms make this a rare and delightful retreat in a sought-after neighborhood.
