Situated on a quiet, welcoming street just two blocks from iconic Summit Avenue, this charming home enjoys a prime location, minutes from both downtowns and close to shops, restaurants, universities, parks, bike lanes, and public transit. Lovingly maintained by only three families. Inside, you'll find beautifully preserved Mission-style woodwork and built-ins, hardwood floors throughout, 9-foot ceilings, and inviting front and back porches. Period-appropriate features include generously sized bedrooms, ample closets and storage, a sunroom, a functional and modern entry/mudroom, a pantry, and tastefully updated bathrooms. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with custom Maple cabinetry and granite countertops, while original built-ins such as the dining room buffet and integrated bookcase have been carefully preserved. The home offers flexible living arrangements with two bedrooms and a full bath on the main level, plus a spacious upper-level primary suite featuring a walk-in closet and half bathroom. An additional 579 square feet of unfinished upper-level space provides an excellent opportunity to create an expanded suite, home office, studio, or creative retreat. Expansion potential continues in the lower level, with approximately 1,045 square feet of furnishable space and an egress window offering options for additional living areas. Outdoors, the fenced backyard includes an inviting deck and established perennial plantings.
