Description

Sited on a lush lot overlooking a prime street in the heart of Rockridge, this vacant two-unit Craftsman weaves a story of multigenerational living, income-generating opportunity and single-family occupancy. The recent enhancements and improvements merge seamlessly with original vintage character, delivering a winning combination. Inviting front porch overlooks tree-lined street. Glass pocket doors open to sun-washed living room, tiled fireplace & stained glass windows. Floorplan flows easily from living room to formal dining room to wide, open kitchen and hall bath. Airy bedroom has French doors that frame rear gardens. Upstairs: Two bedrooms, full bath and spacious family room with tree-top views. Renovated kitchenette and adjacent dining room pose multiple options for creative living & entertaining. Level-out access to picturesque deck connects to peaceful gardens. Tucked into the backyard, a bonus detached garden cottage with bath offers a tantalizing array of uses: Office, workout room, play space, guest retreat, etc. Legend has it that this was rented to a UC student in the 80s, who paid handsomely to live in such an idyllic setting. Tranquil, composed backyard features custom brick patio and large deck. Beloved Rockridge amenities—dining, cafes, shops—are just steps awy.
