A rare and special property for those who dream of entertaining friends and family for years to come, this modernized craftsman includes a SPECTACULAR finished backyard and deck (!), a detached office (!!), a bedroom and bath on the nearly level-in main floor (!!!), and an unfinished basement that is just begging to be finished (!!!!). This 2-story home retains the charm of the Craftsman era, but was restored and remodeled from the ground up in 2015, with major improvements to the beautiful kitchen, bathrooms and significant systems (including foundation) which make it a magical place to call home. The main level features a kitchen and dining area that opens to a huge deck ideal for hosting, with steps down to level play grounds, edible gardens, and entertainment areas. A full bath on the main level for guests rounds out the space. On the top floor are three bedrooms and two remodeled bathrooms, including a primary suite, as well as a laundry closet. The garage is finished inside including a murphy bed and has recently been used as a detached home office and in-law, and a bathroom has been added for convenience in the huge stand-up basement. Close to everything - Grand Lake Farmer's Market, the Morcom Rose Garden, Fairy Land, Lake Merritt, and a myriad of restaurants and bars.
