This Spanish-style residence catches one’s eye from one of Upper Rockridge’s most popular streets. The home offers skylights, oak hardwoods, stunning Bay views, a cheery afternoon sun, and a living room with a gas fireplace for chilly winter days. An updated kitchen (with black granite counters) and modern baths strike the perfect balance between practicality and luxury. Outside, discover a landscaped backyard, featuring an olive tree, Japanese maple, and other mature trees. The large deck offers a perfect space for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The backyard studio provides a creative space or private office and easily could be configured as a guest retreat. Solar panels and the home’s tile roof reduce the utility electrical expense, and the water-efficient garden is easily maintained, even during drought. The home is just a short drive to the vibrant Rockridge and Montclair shopping districts, with boutique shops, restaurants, and more. An express bus to downtown San Francisco stops doors away, making commuting a breeze. The garage can accommodate two cars and offers ample storage space. Families will appreciate the top-rated Hillcrest K-8 school nearby.
