Property Description
For 35 years this brown-shingle gem has been the much-beloved home of local culinary luminaries and you can feel their warmth, conviviality, and the generosity of many gatherings when you enter. The rooms are full of character, preserving the historic charm and details, and they lead you into the sunny kitchen and out to the thoughtfully curated garden with heirloom roses, a fig tree (whose leaves have been infused into ice cream at Chez Panisse), lavender, Fuyu persimmon tree, and more. The eat-in kitchen is the heart of this home, and features a Blue Star range, or tote your ingredients to the outdoor BBQ/smoker and open-hearth grill. The living room is cozy with built-in bookshelves, and wood floors. The dining room has a box-beam ceiling, a true hutch with leaded-glass doors, and a fireplace surrounded by Heath tile. The primary bedroom and vintage-inspired bath have stained- glass windows made by a previous homeowner, and there is a large clawfoot tub for deep soaking. Upstairs is a second bedroom, with views across the yard and toward the bay. There?s a detached garage with storage and another structure* that the Sellers used as an office/studio. Tons of amenities nearby: WalkScore� of 96, BikeScore? of 100, plus BART and commute options. *Buyer to investigate.
