This Magical Storybook Craftsman is almost too charming to resist, offering warmth, character, and timeless appeal throughout. Sun-filled with a coveted South-facing orientation, the inviting front porch opens to a gracious foyer and living room with thoughtful period details, including the original wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room features original built-ins, while the stylish Chef’s kitchen is perfect for gathering with friends and family. A sunny breakfast nook overlooks the backyard, with potential for French doors opening to a future deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Two serene bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers elevated neighborhood views, a gorgeous bath, and large walk-in closet. Additional highlights include a generous driveway for off-street parking, detached garage ideal for a home office or possible future ADU, plus basement laundry and storage. Just moments from College Avenue shops, cafés, dining, AC Transit, Rockridge BART, and top-rated Hillcrest K-8. A rare blend of vintage charm and modern convenience in a coveted Rockridge location.
