Nestled under a venerable catalpa tree, this 1926 bungalow and its unique tree have deep roots in time in the neighborhood. A cozy living room with fireplace welcomes you inside. The large eat-in kitchen is a wonderful place to gather and cook together with friends and neighbors. Two nice sized bedrooms share an updated bathroom located between them. The deck, accessed from the kitchen, provides an outdoor “room” for enjoying the backyard, a garden setting with birds of paradise, the catalpa tree, and other tropical touches. The neighborhood is just a few minutes away from shopping in the Lower Diamond district with Safeway, Farmer Joe’s, CVS, Peet’s Coffee, and a variety of local shops.
