Beautiful On Boyd
∎
On a special block of Boyd Avenue sits a modernized California bungalow with unique, surprising details to delight and excite you. From the moment you first see the front garden filled with succulents, a towering euphoria, and Atlas stones to the protea that matches the welcoming orange door, the anticipation begins. The wide entryway opens into the living room offering the first peak inside; gorgeous oak hardwood floors, coved ceilings, and expansive bay windows adorn the formal living room. Adjacent is the dining room with an iconic Nelson pendant to illuminate intimate dining or lively dinner parties.
As you explore further, the heart of the home reveals itself in the beautifully updated kitchen which seamlessly blends modern convenience with timeless charm. Sleek stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, a wide farmhouse sink and custom cabinetry ensure this culinary haven is functional and aesthetically pleasing. Two skylights and vaulted ceilings over the island ensure this gathering spot is always bright and inviting.
The four bedrooms in this home are thoughtfully designed to accommodate family members and guests, while offering flexibility to include a home office or makers space. The sizable primary bedroom is a tranquil retreat, featuring a serene rear garden view. With tall ceilings, a large picture window, and a sliding glass door leading to the rear garden, this seamless connection to the outdoor space enhances the rooms openness and airiness, making it a perfect sanctuary for relaxation.
The recently updated primary bathroom exudes luxury with its elegant double vanity adorned with a stunning Carrera marble countertop and complemented by matching penny-tiled floors. The walk-in shower, equipped with both a rain shower head and shower wand, elevates the bathing experience to a spa-like level. Thoughtful design touches, such as heated floors, stylish lighting and fixtures, add sophistication throughout the space. Storage is abundant, thanks to the spacious walk-in closet, making organization a breeze.
The updated guest bathroom captures a vintage aesthetic with a nod towards the homes original era, including a refurbished claw foot tub with elegant chrome feet and fixtures, hexagon tile floors complimented by wainscoting, and a pedestal sink creating a timeless appeal. Don’t miss the practical yet stylish laundry room, designed to make household chores easier and more convenient.
The garage and basement offer exciting potential for expansion or could serve as a dedicated makers' retreat. Whether you envision a creative workspace, additional potential living space, or simply a versatile area for your hobbies, these spaces are ready for your personal touch.
Stepping outside, the backyard transforms into a stunning extension of the home designed for both relaxation and entertainment. The luxurious Ipe decking provides a warm, natural aesthetic, while wireline railings offer unobstructed views of the surrounding beauty. The Basalt stone patio enhances the outdoor space with a sophisticated touch, perfect for gatherings or quiet evenings. Surrounded by a vibrant flora garden and a lush canopy of trees, this area is a lovely gathering area. Twinkling string lights add a magical ambiance, ideal for evening entertaining. Movie nights will turn into cherished memories with an ideal setup for a big screen, making it a favorite gathering spot. Plus, there’s a designated doggie area for Fido, ensuring a spot for all of their needs.
Located in the highly desirable Rockridge neighborhood known for its proximity to top dining and shopping. With a 92 Walkscore, there is something for everyone. Commuters will rejoice with the effortless 4 block stroll to BART and easy freeway access. College Ave is also just a few blocks away, the hot spot of Rockridge. The Temescal neighborhood is also just blocks away with even more dining and shopping options.
This California bungalow on Boyd Avenue harmonizes luxury and practicality, offering a living experience that is both delightful and functional, making it an exceptional place to call home.
