New Listing: Stunning Romantic Mediterranean Revival Amazingly Preserved in Perfect Period Condition

This is a rare opportunity to own an amazing Storybook Mediterranean Revival Home in the Heart of Rockridge. There are very few homes in the area offering so much period architecture and all in nearly perfect condition. The exterior architecture tells you it is special. The front courtyard confirms it. The bubbling fountain is the focal point leading you to the wood & wrought iron front door. Once inside, you'll be stunned by the entry way with its soaring ceiling, tiled floors and sweeping stairways. The Mayan calendar inlaid in the tiled floor is truly unique.

The living room and its details are equally dramatic. There are wide planked and plugged oak floors, soaring vaulted ceiling with hand hewn beams and wood work, the fireplace set in the corner, unique windows and recessed bookshelves, original light fixtures and metal curtain rods. Of course, there is room for a grand piano and still plenty of space for all the furnishings. The patio door opens to the front courtyard for easy access while entertaining.

The formal dining room has a sunny view of the entry courtyard and patio doors, too, completing the circle of access. Hand-hewn beams complement the living room and have original hand stenciling. Pass thru the cozy breakfast nook on your way to the kitchen. This kitchen is understated and is a very beautiful marriage of old and new; new appliances, new soap stone countertops w/built-in dish drainer and sink. The cabinets are old school and very beautiful with cool features; slide-out storage in the panty and the very unique built-in step stools so everyone can reach the top of the upper cabinets. There is easy access to the backyard, too. There is a cozy bedroom and bath with period tile still in place. The final kicker is the Grand Family Room. This is always the space missing from other homes in the area built in the 20s. We love the homes, but where do we hang-out? Well, with a room big enough for a real party, a fireplace and separate access to the yard, you could not ask for a more modern feature in a historic home.

As you ascend the stairway to the 2nd floor, you can appreciate the antique light fixture, the intricate ceiling detailing and metal work of the railings and windows. There is room to display your favorite art on the walls. The stairway makes a stop at the bedroom floor, but also takes you to the upper balcony. It's an intimate space, but how pleasing to look upon! The bedrooms and bathrooms offer a myriad of configurations. Two large bedrooms share the master bathroom making your choice of a room to sleep in difficult. The front bedroom has 2 closets and 2 balconies while the back bedroom overlooks the backyard, has a big walk-in closet and a cozy enclosed back porch, perfect for reading or penning your thoughts. The 3rd bedroom is sunny and bright with a changing room and private bathroom. Two things we need to discuss here: bathrooms and storage – the bathrooms defy my descriptive powers (and believe me I describe a lot of bathrooms,) and there are 8 big closets in addition to the spacious closets that grace each of the bedrooms. How modern is this? No tiny 1920's closets in the whole house!

Okay the back yard and other such nice things. The backyard is very special. It is fenced and has a nice grassy place to play, a beautiful brick fireplace and BBQ. There is a patio to enjoy a summer day while the kids can race up and down the gated driveway. There is still more storage in the potting shed and a real 2 car garage completes the picture. Of course, the sewer has been done recently and the termite is next to nothing. Proving that all the past owners have not just lived here, but loved and cherished living here - You can be next!

New Listing: Historic Storefront Refurbished As "Modern Digs" Ready for the Next Century

It is a challenge to call the renovation of this historic storefront simply a ground up restoration. While the original "bones" of the building remain, essentially it is newly designed for modern living. Providing comfortable and sophisticated spaces to both enjoy living and entertaining. You will enjoy a beautifully finished concrete floor (Radiant Heat); Spacious interior rooms with soaring ceiling heights; Big windows everywhere for excellent light and placed for privacy. In the Great Room, two sets of oversized patio doors stream light from the south facing garden "room". Open these doors and the spaces become almost as one (oh so Zen-like). Any cook will enjoy the kitchen's stainless steel appliances and farm-style porcelain sink, surrounded by quartz grey countertops. The kitchen island serves as a versatile workspace, flexible eating, or whatever the need. There will be many great uses and needs filled here. I think the combination of perfect fixtures done in a modern style is what really makes this space soar! The bedrooms are equally as special w/tall ceiling, lots of light, big closets, and access to an incredible bathroom, again the choice of fixtures is truly a work of art.
