Well-cared for Craftsman in the heart of the Gourmet Ghetto with period details intact and lots of additional wood cabinets, doors, windows and trim. The large eat-in kitchen opens to a private, mature backyard with a pond, shed , fig and citrus trees. The kitchen has been updated with a new dual fuel downdraft stove and a new Bosch dishwasher (Nov., 2018, both unused). The wooden counters and cabinets added in the early 1980's have been refinished. The downstairs has 2 bedrooms, a fireplace, recently refinished hardwood floors and lots of natural light. The upstairs has 2 skylights, a stained glass window, a wood trimmed bathroom and 2 bedrooms that look onto lovely green vistas in the back. There are 2 full bathrooms, 1 on each floor. The 2nd story was added in the early 1980's by noted designer/builders Abrams, Milikan and Kent. The house has been recently painted, the woodwork refreshed and the foundation seismically upgraded (bolted & braced in 2017 by Bay Area Retrofit).
