About This Property
Set back high off the street for maximum privacy, this
Craftsman-era bungalow has 100+ year-old bones, charm in spades,
and potential galore, all tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac on an
extraordinary, nearly 7,000-square-foot parcel in the hills.
Meander up the path through the native gardens, perhaps picking a
ripe Gravestein apple along the way, and you begin to understand
what makes this property so special. The home itself is cozy,
comfy, light-filled, and ready for its next chapter. It offers an
exciting opportunity for someone with vision, whether that means
thoughtfully improving the existing cottage, reimagining the
property over time, or simply settling in and enjoying this
uncommonly generous piece of land. There are Bay views and
spectacular sunsets that bring the day to a beautiful close,
followed by the peaceful sound of crickets at dusk. The real magic
is outside. A tamed wilderness, the grounds unfold beneath a
magnificent mature oak, creating a private garden retreat that
feels worlds away. Established natives and edible gardens include
fruiting kiwi vines, raspberries, blackberries, boysenberries,
alpine strawberries, plus plum, Gravenstein apple, Meyer lemon,
Mexican lime, mandarin, and calamansi citrus trees. A true haven
for hummingbirds, butterflies, and local wildlife. While the home
retains much of its original character, a roof with years of useful
life remaining, newly installed solar panels, and a Tesla Powerwall
bring some welcome modern-day benefits, including backup power
during outages and dramatically reduced energy bills. Over more
than a century, only three owners have called this bungalow their
own, each a steward of a special little house on an extraordinary
piece of land. Now it's ready for its next chapter, with character
to preserve, space to enjoy, and endless possibilities for what
comes next. Open Houses: 10/17 & 10/18, 2:00-4:00pm.
