Welcome to 681 Santa Ray, where vintage character, thoughtful modern updates, and exceptional flexibility converge in one special home. Bathed in natural light and enhanced by major structural improvements, owned solar, and a fully permitted, beautifully updated ADU, this property offers a rare opportunity to live expansively and intentionally. The versatile floor plan functions seamlessly as a generous 5bd/3.5 ba single-family home or as 2 distinct living spaces-ideal for multi-generational living, guest quarters, work-from-home needs, or an income-producing ADU. The updated kitchen features new hardwood floors, freshly painted cabinetry, a pantry, and abundant counter space for daily cooking and entertaining. A serene primary suite offers a spacious walk-in closet and spa-like en-suite bath. Refinished hardwood floors, new lighting, and fresh interior and exterior paint create a polished, cohesive feel throughout, with separate laundry for each unit adding everyday convenience. Indoor-outdoor living shines with an expansive deck for dining and sunset views, a professionally landscaped garden with veggie beds and winding paths, and a lower-level patio perfect for gatherings and play. Just minutes to Lakeshore, Lake Merritt, farmers markets, and vibrant neighborhood favorites.
