Property Description

In a rather hidden enclave of Belmont Heights, this wonderful property offers 2 separate homes for investment or owner occupier w/ an income. This is a low traffic area with great walk-ability. The owner has resided in each of these homes & these are not typical “rental” properties. The front home, while originally built in 1947, has been gutted & undergone multiple renovations. It is 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, a studio, and a loft. With cathedral ceilings, the airy yet cozy interiors feature heart of redwood paneling in the dining & living rooms, wood burning fireplace, large family room w/ adjacent sun room, & the loft above it all. The kitchen is thoughtfully updated with in-demand stainless appliances, Caesarstone counter tops, 5 burner stove, built-in Jenn-Air grille, instant hot water tap, & elegant travertine flooring. Well selected natural cherry cabinetry for smart storage completes the space. A separate laundry & refrigerated wine room is adjacent to the kitchen. The downstairs bedroom offers a remodeled bath with high tech shower fixtures. The upper floor is clad in Berber carpeting & the loft is a convenient space that overlooks the living room. Bedroom 1 features a sliding glass door to a private deck, & the 2nd bedroom upstairs has a very large closet. A studio/4th bedroom has a deck w/ separate entrance accessed by spiral staircase. The home has forced air heat & central air.. It enjoys part of the yard area & shares a 2-car garage w/ the rear home. The owner added 1000 sf to create appx 2600 sf. Recent re-landscape is no maintenance w/ installation of artificial turf & drip system. Most decks & the walkway are crafted of elegant, precious, & extremely durable Ipe wood. When the private rear home was the owner's unit no expense was spared in an extensive make over – think HGTV! This home was built in 1963 & attention to detail is superior. A large living room w/skylights fir wonderful natural light & a fireplace for heating the home is showcased amid hardwood flooring. The kitchen is beautifully remodeled with stunning cabinetry, Caesarstone counter tops, & luxurious appliances including a refrigerator, dual convection & microwave oven, dishwasher, & refrigerated wine storage. The bath is fitted with a “no step” walk in shower, dramatic tile, high end plumbing fixtures, & elegant cabinetry. This rear home is estimated at 950 sf & has a secluded & enclosed rear yard w/ laundry locker w/appliances, & semi-private front patio for al fresco dining.
