Welcome to 5886 Morpeth Street, a spacious 4+ bedroom, 2 bathroom Mediterranean home, located in desirable Upper Rockridge with close proximity to College Avenue shopping and dining, top-rated schools, regional parks and easy access to BART and multiple freeways.
Built in 1939, this light-filled home features 2,065 square feet of easy living space and period architectural details highlighted by the gracious entry, brick fireplace with uniquely carved mantel, niches and arched doorways. To the left of the foyer lies a formal dining room with a built-in corner cabinet. Meals, also, can be served through the patio door on the wooden deck beneath the California sun and stars.
Adjoining the dining room is the updated kitchen with wood cabinetry, Quartz countertops/backsplash and a stainless-steel appliance suite. The two catty-corner windows over the porcelain sink provide a picturesque outlook onto the lushly landscaped backyard.
Across from the kitchen lies a main-level bedroom which, like the rest of the house, shows off beautifully maintained wide plank hardwood floors and one of the many newly updated light fixtures seen through-out the rest of the home.
Up a half flight of stairs is the spacious owner's suite with walk-in closet and a sitting area for nighttime musings. Continue on through the patio doors to the back gardens to take in the beauty of the mature azaleas, bougainvillea, roses, flowering maples, succulents and an apple tree or, perhaps, to take a relaxing soak in the hot tub. Venture back indoors to the hallway bathroom with a dual sink vanity, shower with dual controls/showerheads and linen closet which is shared with the sunny third bedroom on this level.
A short flight of steps down from the entrance foyer lies an extremely versatile suite of rooms that could be used as a home office, guest suite or au-pair unit with the 4th bedroom, a study and a brightly tiled full bathroom. This quiet sanctuary has multiple exterior exits: foyer off the bedroom to the backyard; through a well-appointed mudroom or through the two-car garage with laundry, cabinetry and newly painted floor.
The Cusack Group invites you to visit and enjoy 5886 Morpeth Street.

Neighborhood
