This 1901 Grand Dame is a rare blend of historic elegance and modern livability – large, gracious, and thoughtfully updated for today’s lifestyle. Rich wood details, a stately foyer, and oversized windows set a tone of timeless sophistication, while the open-concept layout and seamless indoor-outdoor flow are effortlessly current. The four bedrooms and 2.5 bath floor plan is exceptionally functional: with a primary suite on the entry level, and three bedrooms upstairs. The upper level boasts a large bedroom with sunny deck access and a shared split bathroom. Storage and closets are unusually abundant for this era and the additional convenience of laundry on each floor adds ease. Dual-zone heating ensures comfort throughout, and a new roof provides peace of mind. Outdoors, the level, flat backyard is an exceptional space for outdoor movie nights and entertaining. Drought-resistant landscaping frames the space for low-maintenance enjoyment, with room to add herb garden and vegetable beds. A level-in rear entry, two storage sheds, and a long gated driveway with ample parking complete the package. Set on an iconic palm-lined street, this home enjoys close proximity to Bellavista Park, Highland Hospital, and a vibrant mix of shops and dining, with effortless access to 580 and BART.
