If you have been looking for an intact Arts & Craft bungalow, this is the one. Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street of Craftsman bungalows, this gem has a fresh, contemporary paint job and new roof. Entering the house past an original paneled front door, you find yourself in a pristine Arts & Crafts interior. The open floor plan creates the feeling of flowing space typical of the Arts & Crafts style. The entry hall opens onto the living room, connected to the dining room by a wide opening with glass-paneled doors. The house is remarkably intact. The original wood trim, never painted, includes baseboards, picture rails, built-ins, door and window moldings, and the doors themselves. Note the original bronzed doorknobs, window latches, and push-button light switches. The living room has its original fireplace of unpainted brick, flanked by built-in shelves and desk with small-paned, glass-paneled doors. As you walk into the dining room you will see expansive, full-width original windows over the built-in china cabinet. The cabinet has draws and small paned glass paneled doors with glass knobs. The kitchen appears to be unaltered since the 40?s. The flooring is deco linoleum still in good condition. The original cabinets have a cooler box, built-in ironing board and glass knobs. You will also find a vintage Caloric range that still works. Off the kitchen is a sunny breakfast room with original light fixture and the same deco linoleum. There is also a mudroom/pantry off the kitchen that leads outside. Both bedrooms have large walk-in closets with built-in shelves and original windows. The original bathroom has been tastefully updated with black and white railroad tiles. The bathroom door has translucent pebble glass, as does the window over the tub. The roomy rear deck overlooks a private yard encompassed by flowering plants and a lovely Japanese maple. The original garage is freshly painted, with new roof. Neighborhood Description Just yards away from the Emeryville border and shopping. A few blocks from MacArthur BART. Easy access to area highways.
