Warm, inviting, and rich with timeless character, this 1930 Mediterranean is a home that feels special from the moment you arrive. Elevated above the street and surrounded by beautiful landscaping, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is filled with natural light and expansive Bay views that unfold from the living and dining rooms, sitting room, and primary suite. The gracious living room, with its coved ceiling and tiled gas fireplace, is both elegant and welcoming, flowing naturally into the dining room and a charming beveled sitting room surrounded by windows, making it an inspiring spot to work from home. At the heart of the home is a beautifully updated kitchen designed for the way people really live. Gorgeous stone countertops, freshly painted cabinetry, a California Closets-designed pantry, and exceptional counter space and storage make it as functional as it is beautiful. A breakfast bar doubles as a homework station, while the generous proportions leave plenty of room for friends and family to gather and cook together. The kitchen opens directly to a level deck, creating an effortless connection outdoors for morning coffee, grilling, alfresco dinners, and evenings with friends. Two main-level bedrooms overlook the garden and share an updated bath. One offers an exceptionally large closet, while bonus closets throughout provide an enviable amount of storage. Tucked away on the lower level, the spacious primary suite feels like a retreat of its own, with Bay views, a large walk-in closet, updated en-suite bath, built-in laundry, and a private entrance opening directly to the sun drenched garden. Lush lawn, fruit trees, expansive planting areas, and two decked patios create a joyful outdoor sanctuary with room to entertain, garden, and play. Succulent landscaping frames the entrance, giving the home wonderful curb appeal and a hint of what awaits beyond. Thoughtful improvements—including central A/C, updated electrical, a newer furnace, water heater and roof, and extensive drainage work, bring modern comfort to this classic home. Just blocks away, the serene grounds and fabulous swimming pool at Mills College offer yet another place to unwind. Beautifully connected to its gardens, its views, and the people who gather within it, this is a home designed to be lived in and loved.
