Rare and wonderful; this delightfully reimagined home has undergone a complete transformation, emerging as a hipper, fresher, not to mention, much larger, California Craftsman with a decidedly "cool" factor. Just two blocks off College Avenue, this thoughtfully renovated property offers formal living and dining rooms, spacious chef's kitchen w/adjoining family room, accordion-glass wall, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, including an inviting primary ensuite, guest room, office, and a fantastic media room upstairs. An inviting sunny deck w/southern exposure connects the kitchen to the patio below, and a rebuilt detached garage and basement offer tremendous storage or flex space. Just steps to trendy shops & restaurants, the Rockridge BART Station, and with easy access to HWYs 24 & 580, this conveniently located and turn-key property offers convenient living in a highly-coveted location.
