BIG PRICE REDUCTION - OWNER MOTIVATED - Lease or lease option possible This Beautiful Lower Rockridge Bungalow is almost the perfect presentation of the Classic Arts & Crafts Style. The Architectural detailing is in near perfect condition and includes, built-in bookcases, a split brick fireplace, wood windows, a built-in China cabinet, and gleaming hardwood floors. This home features 3 nice sized bedrooms, with the 3rd bedroom on the back as the perfect master or as a family/media room that opens to the sunny back deck. There is a full bath and half bath both of which have been recently updated. The clean and bright kitchen can feed an army and is a delight with plenty of cabinetry and counter space. The back deck makes indoor/ outdoor living a reality. The backyard is warm and sunny and is just the place to unwind on a quiet weekend. The detached garage is in amazing condition and not the normal “scary falling over structures” we usually see. There is a big roll-up & automated garage door and plenty of storage — you might even put a car in here. The seller has lovingly maintained this home and it has many upgraded systems. ONLINE TOUR @ www.5707Ayala.Com Classic Craftsman Bungalow 5707 Ayala Avenue, Lower Rockridge Offered @ $724,000 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.
