Set above and tucked behind lush, mature landscaping, 3056 California is a soulful Craftsman bursting with charm, flexibility, and modern upgrades. Thoughtfully expanded to include a detached guest cottage—ideal as a third bedroom, creative studio, or private WFH space—it’s a home that adapts to your lifestyle. Step through the custom wood front door into sunlit living and dining spaces where original wood detailing sets the tone. A glass-wrapped bonus sunroom adds a dash of whimsy—perfect as a reading nook, playroom, or bright, inspiring workspace. Just outside, a west-facing deck off the kitchen twinkles with string lights and spills into a long, gated driveway. A generous hardscape wraps around the home, leading to a flagstone patio and level lawn—an entertainer’s dream and a serene everyday escape. The kitchen is ready for the rhythm of modern life, while the beautifully updated hall bath brings a touch of elegance. Behind the scenes, recent seismic upgrades, a newer roof, owned solar, and central AC ensure comfort and peace of mind. Set on a cheerful, tree-lined street near BART, shops, parks, & more, this home offers the best of both worlds: classic architecture and everyday ease, wrapped in a setting and friendly neighborhood that simply feels good to come home to.
