Crocker Highlands never disappoints, and this Craftsman is a wonderful example. Tucked along a quiet block of Calmar, the home offers a rare blend of tranquility and convenience, with easy access to the vibrant Lakeshore district—farmers’ market mornings, library visits, and favorite neighborhood restaurants just moments away. Inside, natural light pours through the windows, illuminating hardwood floors and creating an immediate sense of warmth. Classic Craftsman details—original built-ins, stained glass, and rich woodwork—blend seamlessly with thoughtful updates. The kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional, perfect for cooking, entertaining, or gathering at the end of the day. Designed for indoor-outdoor living, the kitchen opens to a spacious backyard retreat with a hot tub, south-facing sun, and room to garden, relax, or host friends while little ones play, while the reimagined front and back yards feature clean-lined retaining walls, lush landscaping, and a full irrigation system. Downstairs, the versatile basement offers storage and flexible space for a home office, guest quarters, gym, or playroom. And the views—enjoy sweeping views of the Bay and the San Francisco skyline in the distance, a stunning backdrop that makes every day feel truly extraordinary.
