Glorious Light, Craftsman Soul, Garden Oasis 1239 19th Ave São Francisco, Califórnia 94122 Estados Unidos

​The forthright beauty of quintessential California Bungalow architecture informs this North Berkeley treasure, in a spectacular garden setting, the ultimate in indoor-outdoor living. Muscular details of the period anchor a luminous, highly functional floor-plan with ease. On the main floor, glorious light bathes the sophisticated living room, warmed by a handsome fireplace wrapped in south-facing windows. The formal dining room is clad in rich wood detailing opening to the professionally designed landscape of decks, terraces and fragrant outdoor rooms. A spacious bedroom, a convenient half bath, a large laundry room, a mudroom, and a pristine kitchen upgraded with practical modernity while preserving its Craftsman heart. Two sets of French doors create an easy indoor/outdoor flow, perfect for entertaining. The professionally designed garden oasis features dining and entertaining areas, bespoke stone walls, magnolia, jasmine, hellebore, herbs, and roses cascading over the terraced levels with views of the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge. Upstairs, you'll find a full bathroom, a second bedroom with picturesque west-facing views, and a third bedroom with an attached sunroom/office or playroom overlooking the garden. Thoughtful upgrades include individual climate controls in the upper-level bedrooms. Just a few blocks from multiple parks, tennis courts, the Rose Garden, and picnics at either Codornices or Live Oak Parks, or head over to the nearby Gourmet Ghetto for shopping, restaurants, and a weekly farmers market for a taste of California cuisine.
