Spanish Hacienda Just Blocks from Downtown
This enchanting hacienda exudes classic Spanish style with its red tile roof, decorative window awning, and gated arched opening to a courtyard entrance with tiled steps to the covered front door. These classic arches and tile themes are echoed throughout the home. The barrel-vaulted ceiling, arched room openings, parquet wood floors, and original tile outlining the fireplace recall the home’s circa 1931 heritage. Beyond the living room and formal dining room, which opens to the rear deck, the updated kitchen follows the Spanish theme with decorative tile backsplashes and butcher-block counters, including a peninsula with breakfast-bar seating. Additional casual dining has built-in banquette seating plus a French door to the rear deck – perfect for a barbecue.
The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 updated baths, including an en suite on the lower level plus two bedrooms served by a hallway bath on the upper level. There is also tremendous unfinished lower-level space adjacent to the one-car garage with potential for added living space. Topping it all off is a surprisingly large rear yard with elevated wisteria-covered deck, expansive patio, lawn, and even a sandbox and playhouse. Plus, this home is just down the street from Central Park, is only 3 blocks from downtown shops, cafes, and restaurants, and only 1 mile to BART and Caltrain. Welcome home!
