Lovely four bedroom and three bath Spanish Revival in Crocker Highlands and just blocks away from Crocker Highlands Elementary School. The original house has three bedrooms and two full baths. The first floor is complete with the first laundry area, sunny bedroom, and chic full bath with dual vanity. Abundant natural light splashes on the hardwood floors of the foyer which span into the living room that's anchored by a vintage plaster fireplace with a classic wooden mantel. The adjacent modern kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, and a wonderful flexible space, ready as a breakfast nook or study area. Upstairs find two generously sized bedrooms, including a sunny primary bedroom with a dressing area with built-in wardrobe. The lower level was built out and enriched with a home office (second bedroom), den, bedroom, full kitchen, full bathroom and its own laundry area. An immensely flexible floor plan for modern lifestyles with this lower-level addition to be used as part of the main house or as an in-law unit. The lower level is connected to the main house from stairs off the kitchen but does have a separate entry door from the outside. Dine al fresco on the big deck, unwind after a long day in the hot tub, play on the grassy level lawn, or gather with family and friends in the many seating areas. Just two houses off Mandana Blvd and down the road you can enjoy Lakeshore and Grand Avenue for groceries, dining, farmers market, shopping, yoga, movies and Lake Merritt.
