Classic and Timeless on a Premier Street
This home is located in the sought-after Green Gables neighborhood and more precisely the Duveneck/St. Francis area known for its tree-lined wide streets on the edge of Crescent Park and one of the best schools in all of California, Duveneck Elementary. With roots dating back to the mid-century, the home has enjoyed updates over the years. A paver stone driveway, stretch of lawn, and mature tree precede the home, which opens through a Craftsman-style solid wood door to a defined foyer. Beyond, the open living and dining room unfold with parquet wood floors, significant library storage, a fireplace, and two sets of French doors to a side terrace for al fresco enjoyment. Amid the space, a sky-lit staircase rises to the upper level where four of the home’s five bedrooms are located.

Off to one side, the kitchen and family room are found along with a bedroom and full bath. The kitchen is bright and light with leathered and honed lightly hued granite counters and matte glass tiles on the backsplash. A peninsula counter with seating at the end separates the family room where cabinetry provides for media needs and glass doors open to the rear yard. Just down the hall is a well-appointed full bath and adjacent bedroom currently customized for a home office.

Upstairs, the skylight fills the space with light and a bridge walk connects two of the bedrooms. Each bedroom is carpeted and has crown moldings and recessed lights along with ample closet space. The primary suite has an expanse of custom cabinetry as well plus an en suite bath with frameless-glass shower and additional glass-front cabinetry. The three additional bedrooms are served by a remodeled bath with fossilized limestone finishes, a dual-sink vanity, and tub with overhead shower.

The privacy of the rear yard awaits relaxation with its large recessed spa, a flagstone terrace, and plenty of room for play and gardening. Just minutes away is Eleanor Pardee Park for further recreation and Duveneck Elementary School is just down the street.
