New Listing: Classic Craftsman Bungalow W/Possible Studio Rental or Extra Space for your ___________! FILL IN THE BLANK

Welcome to this very nicely preserved and cared for Craftsman Bungalow. This home offers maximum flexibility. By just closing-off the door between the 2 upstairs rooms, you have the perfect little income generator. Then, if the family grows or changes, you can re-open the door and “bingo,” more living space! It is really a perfect set up for the right circumstances – like having a couple kids, or maybe Mom will need to be nearby in the not too distant future and live under your roof, but not under foot. But, if you are just looking for the classic Craftsman Bungalow, we have that, too. 3 Bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with one already done in “Period” style.
The entry, living and dining rooms could not be any sweeter with designer paint, fireplace and gleaming hardwood floors completing the package. The kitchen has a cozy breakfast room, laundry and all three rooms give you the opportunity to renovate and create the “great” room we all fantasize about. Imagine a brand new kitchen and family room opening right out into the sunny yard. It might not get any better, or easier than this (my promise- if you can’t see it, I will come and spend 2 hours with you designing the space so you can make it real!) Okay we have a downstairs sort of double-layer basement and laundry. Lots of space for storage and work rooms and other fun stuff you could do down here. Especially since there is already a toilet, you could potentially add a bath pretty easily. The long driveway gives you plenty of parking and the garage, while on the low and small size, is still ideal for a plug-in Prius, or maybe the new Fiat 500 (I got one and LUV it!) Perfect location nestled between Temescal and Rockridge with great neighbors. This well-maintained home is a great buy in today’s market.
This home offers maximum flexibility. Close-off the doors between the 2 upstairs rooms and have a perfect little income generator. Then, if the family grows or changes open the door and “bingo,” more living space! “Very Walkable” according to WalkScore. This home scored 87 out of 100. It’s really the perfect set-up for the right circumstances. Sell the cars – Ride BART and get a couple bikes! This home is located on the border between Rockridge and Temescal. You will face a daily challenge on which way to go. Btw, the Sunday Farmers” Market is a block away and Casual Carpooling, the Tot Lot and Dog Park just another block the other way. Easy access to bike paths, freeways, AC Transit, and BART make living here a Commuters’ Dream.
