PRICE REDUCED Welcome to this wonderful Craftsman Bungalow in desirable Rockridge. Here is your chance to own that cute bungalow with all the bells & whistles! This home features 2 nice sized bedrooms and a big eat-in kitchen and bathroom. But it’s the amazing Gumwood detailing that really makes this home sing! There are hardwood floors with a feature stripe and intricate corner weave, stunning built-in China cabinet, a perfect fireplace in the living room. The eat-in kitchen is big and roomy and has space for everyone. It is easy to access the backyard from the kitchen. There is a studio apartment below that makes an easy rental to the young artists from the Art College (CCA) right down the street. The garage is converted and needs some serious TLC, but could be a great space. The backyard is a warm and sunny spot and is just the place to unwind on a quiet weekend. As a bonus you will enjoy the benefits of being in the award winning Chabot Elementary District. Neighborhood Description Rockridge stretches along College Avenue from Broadway up to the Berkeley border at Ashby (where you will find us here at Lawton Associates, by the way). The neighborhood stretches west to spoon with Temescal and eastward up the hills for magnificent views of the bay. Whether you reside in a Craftsman on Cavour or a chalet on Chabot, you are never far from the action on College Avenue. And by action on College Avenue, we mean some of the hottest shops and restaurants in the Bay Area. Has the foodie press stopped raving about Wood Tavern? No they have not, but they are also busy touting A Cote, Oliveto, and of course Zachary’s, the best pizza you will ever eat. And, if you aren’t getting your freshly made pasta, organic produce, butchered meat, and piping hot pastries from Market Hall…well, you should be. And when you are ready to relax and watch the world go by, you can hang with cool cats at Cole Coffee, possibly the best roast this side of the bay. Rockridge came into its own in the 1970s when the BART station opened and the Caldecott Tunnel provided better access to Walnut Creek and beyond. Many neighborhood institutions from the 70s and before are still beloved destinations, such as Chimes Pharmacy. In addition to BART, there are so many public transportation options that you may never get in your car again. AC Transit has the uber-handy 51 line taking you from downtown Oakland to Berkeley. The “casual carpool” has several neighborhood pick-up spots, as do car-sharing services City Car Share and ZipCar. And, of course, the neighborhood is perfect for walking, strolling, rolling, biking, hopping, crawling and every other motion you can think of. The people of Rockridge are heartily committed to community building, as evidenced each year at the Rockridge Out & About Street Fair. The foodies come out weekly for the nearby Temescal Farmers Market and bi-annual for the Kitchen Tour.
