Property description
Transparent pricing. Rare opportunity to own a classic Brown Shingle home designed by renowned architect Julia Morgan. Located in the heart of the Gourmet Ghetto, it is just blocks away from BART, famous restaurants and shopping. The beautiful woodwork and stained glass create a sense of spacious coziness. Large country kitchen and separate oversized formal dining room with lovely original built-ins. Great indoor outdoor flow with multiple decks leading out to an enormous park-like yard. Sun-filled main floor bathroom. Charming in-law downstairs with separate entrance. Truly a must-see!
