Quintessentially cute this house will get your attention. Renovated by an artist and landscape architect this lovely cottage is just perfect. The excellent split level floor plan and flow maximizes the space to make every square foot feel larger. Filled with light but surprisingly private there are extraordinary portals at every turn: glass doors into the bright porch and living room; multiple windows in every room; a skylight in the dining room; an open kitchen; french doors off the kitchen leading to the backyard with a storage shed and infrared sauna, and courtyard garden; and the pinnacle - an upstairs bedroom with two walls of windows and extended closet space. There's a plus room (not included in the square footage) where laundry and storage are located but could also be used as an office or bedroom; and a 1/2 basement for ample storage with shelving units, work tables and electric outlets. Upgrades include: new kitchen and bath, new electrical, new furnace, tankless water heater, green certified insulation in attic, walls and under house for added sound proofing, new roof with solar eliminates electric bill, new deck and fencing, full landscape installation . Coveted pocket neighborhood one block from Emeryville, close to Doyle Street Cafe Bay Street Shopping District and across from a Community Garden. Close access to freeways and transportation into San Francisco.
