On one of Bernal’s quietest blocks, a peaceful tree-lined cul-de-sac with minimal traffic, this special home was originally constructed in 1908 as a center hallway Victorian with tall ceilings and hardwood/softwood floors. It offers a blend of historic charm and modern convenience and is only a 4 minute walk to dynamic Cortland Avenue. With two bedrooms and one bath on the main level, as well as a garden view bedroom, bath, and deck on the lower level that also has its own private street entrance, it suits various living arrangements.

The entire facade was rebuilt in 2018 including new high-quality wood windows that enhance the aesthetics of both the street appearance as well as the front rooms. The double parlor exudes Victorian-era charm with plate molding, a china cabinet, and generous wood trim.  

The central bedroom conveniently neighbors a full bath, complete with a classic claw foot tub, vibrant tile flooring, and a modern vanity with ample lighting. The kitchen and dining area have expansive views to the East and are bathed in natural light.  Overlooking the sunny garden, there are tile floors, a skylight, wooden cabinets, composite stone countertops, a stainless steel sink, and a delightful Wedgewood Stove.

Accessed via the kitchen or its own separate and private street entrance, the lower level opens to a third bedroom with refinished Douglas fir floors, French doors leading to a deck and garden, and an en suite bath. The garage is very large, with ample room for a single car, has expansive storage, and interior access to the house.  Extensive seismic improvements have been made in the garage in 2019, with many upgrades for earthquake safety including foundation bolting and shear walls.

To truly appreciate the charm, functionality, and convenience this special home offers, a visit is a must.
