MODERN AMENITIES

The whole house was remodeled and from top to bottom, front to back.  As mentioned, all the historic details were maintained.  But, in addition, may modern upgrades were made.  The entire kitchen was gutted and rebuilt into a gourmet chef’s kitchen with cherry cabinets, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, 2 pantries and an eat-in kitchen dining area. 

The house also features a new radiant heating systems on the main level and new forced  air system in the upstairs.

The upstairs features a total of 3 bedrooms each with their own large bonus room and private attached full bath. The house has a large partially finished attic with drop down stair access and a large separate washroom adjacent to the kitchen.

The professionally designed back yard and garden areas has plenty of space for entertaining, playing with children or having a meal on a warm summer night.  It also leads you to the detach studio cottage.  The cottage could be used as an in-law or aupaire unit, a home office or guest room.  Finally, near the cottage is the large TWO car garage.

In the event this house will not be immediately catering to a large family, this home also features unique FLEXIBILITY.  Although the house has been lovingly restored to its grandeur as a single family home, it still retains its legal designation as a 4 unit dwelling. The main home can easily become 3 separate rentable units along with the studio cottage as the 4th unit.  Since Rockridge is one of the most desireable East Bay areas, it commands some of the highest rents in the Bay Area.  So, this can be a home for all stages.  For example, live on the main level and enjoy a huge 1 bedroom flat, with gourmet kitchen and formal dining room and living room, while renting out the three other units.  Finally, because it is a legally a four-plex there may be some advantages in mortgage financing.
