Information
Supremely cute and quintessential two bedroom Bungalow in lower Rockridge. Brimming with period details such as; box beam ceilings, picture rails, clinker brick fireplace, built-in shelving, hardwood floors, clawfoot tub, and tall baseboards. Light filled throughout – formal dining area flows into kitchen. Spacious bedrooms both have ample closet space. Large eat-in kitchen has a bank of west facing windows. French doors from kitchen open onto deck and charming south facing yard with a grassy area, and a lovely birch tree. The rest of the yard is flush with both native and mature plantings. The separate pebble patio area is an ideal spot for outdoor dining.
Additionally there is a fantastic, detached studio (permitted) with wood flooring and handsome double doors - functions as a great retreat spot – perfect for the home office AND music/creative space as it is comprised of two rooms.
The long driveway can hold multiple cars but given the prime location you may not need one. 471 North is nestled at the end of a cul de sac- adjacent to Peralta Elementary. A short stroll takes you to the Oakland section of College Ave – home to fine dining, a butcher shop, grocery stores, bespoke coffee spots and other uber convenient commerce. This beautiful should not be missed.
