Welcome to 5739 Picardy Drive - the street which famously lights up at Christmas time and is known locally as "Christmas Tree Lane"!
The Storybook Tudor home is filled with the romantic detailing found in this community known as Normandy Village. One of the "modest mansions" built in the 1920s by architect Walter Dixon this 2++ Bedroom 2 Bath home with its dramatic sunken living room, beamed vaulted ceiling, large windows, built-ins and fireplace is a classic example of the street’s vernacular styling.
The kitchen has been tastefully remodeled and opened up to give access to a formal dining room and charming breakfast turret. The master bedroom suite has a beautifully remodeled bathroom, and the second bedroom has a bonus sunroom, perfect for a workroom or playroom. Additional rooms are the delightful den with its rounded hearth and second fireplace and a large laundry and utility room.
The 2 car garage was extensively rebuilt by the current owners into a dream of a workshop and garage space. A gated driveway with pavers and large enclosed patio as well as plenty of room for planting beds offers generous back yard space. The front garden has been landscaped with many drought tolerant plants and drip irrigation. There are rainwater storage features in the back yard. This home is close to Mills College with its community and sporting facilities and there are easy direct commute options.
