Property description
Originally built as a tiny one bedroom cottage, in 1943, this contemporary brown shingle home was extensively renovated and expanded in 1981. It is truly a tranquil and romantic creekside treasure. The living room and dining room open to a dramatic backyard, with towering redwood trees, a large deck and outdoor seating areas, all focused on Strawberry Creek. Both bedrooms also overlook the picturesque backyard. Additional amenities include refreshed kitchen and baths, gleaming hardwood floors & a quiet hidden cul-de-sac location, close to BART. A rare opportunity to live so centrally but feel so far removed from all.
