This handsome 3 bedroom 2 bathroom mid-century sits on a one block lane across from Joaquin Miller Park. With graceful proportions and a great floor-plan, it has an open living and dining room that look out to secluded patio through a wall of glass. A dual pane glass door from the dining room opens to the large patio formed by natural stone walls.
The patio which has a built-in bench, feels very private and extends the living space outdoors. The living room with a pitched ceiling, has a raised hearth brick fireplace, original casement windows and gorgeous random plank oak floors. A George Nelson light fixture in the breakfast room mirrors an identical fixture in the dining room. The kitchen with an operable skylight, has a new Marmoleum floor, vintage light fixtures and stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher and range.
A large skylight in the hall brings in natural light which filters out to the bedrooms, which have adequate closets and lovely green outlooks. The front and rear bedrooms have the original wooden casement windows while the master bedroom has newer dual pane windows that look out to a grove of redwoods and a live oak tree. The front bedroom has a wall of fixed and casement windows that looks out to a beautiful Birch tree.
The master bathroom has a shower stall, skylight and LED light fixture. Stairs lead down from the hall to a laundry and 2 car garage with interior access. More storage can be accessed through the garage which has a back door leading out to the yard. The house, which has a heating and air conditioning system has received numerous upgrades, including seismic, electrical and fencing around the property.
There are gates on either side of the house, one opening to the patio and the other to the side garden. The property sits close to the Woodminster shops, Montclair, the Dimond District, Redwood Regional Park, Chabot Space & Science Center and Head-Royce School.
