Set on one of Rockridge’s most coveted tree-lined streets, this beautifully updated 1918 bungalow blends classic character with thoughtful modern upgrades. Just moments from College Avenue, enjoy easy access to Market Hall, Trader Joe’s, Belotti, Wood Tavern, BART, and the vibrant neighborhood lifestyle that makes Rockridge so beloved. - Sunlight pours through the large picture window into the inviting living room, where the classic fireplace and original built-ins create a warm gathering space. The elegant dining room with rich wainscoting and a beautifully preserved built-in buffet, speaks to the home’s enduring craftsmanship and history. The kitchen was designed for connection and everyday living. A vaulted ceiling and skylight fill the space with natural light, while the chef-inspired layout — complete with stone countertops and stainless steel appliances — makes everything from busy weekday mornings to relaxed dinner parties feel effortless. The home’s three bedrooms offer flexibility for changing needs, including a serene primary suite with a walk-in closet and a recently added ensuite bath designed as a private retreat. A third bedroom easily transforms into a guest space or home office. Step outside and the lifestyle continues. The private backyard was made for California living — string lights overhead, outdoor dinners with friends, kids and pets playing, and warm evenings spent gathered around a table long after sunset. Rebuilt 5 years ago with a vaulted ceiling, finished walls, ventilation, and a French door that opens to the backyard, the detached garage has served as both a workshop and fitness studio. Imagine your home gym, creative space, office, or media lounge. Behind the scenes, extensive seller improvements — including updated electrical, newer furnace and water heater, refreshed hall bath, solar and a dedicated outlet for your EV charger — provide confidence and convenience. Warm, welcoming, and filled with character, this is more than a beautiful home — it’s an opportunity to embrace the very best of Rockridge living.
