Welcome to 53 SFD, an eclectic 1949 home blending Japanese-inspired design with mid-century influences, where craftsmanship, natural materials, and a strong connection to nature define the experience. A private driveway lined with bamboo, fig, and mature trees accommodates 4-5 cars and creates a peaceful buffer from the street. Beyond a traditional Japanese-style gate, shaded by a flowering cherry tree, the home opens to a serene garden with layered plantings, stepping stones, and a zen fountain. The pathway was designed to echo falling cherry blossoms, beautifully realized each spring. Inside, the home is rich with character. Redwood paneling, stained glass windows, vintage tile work, and distinct rooms create warmth and individuality throughout. A stained-glass dome skylight crowns the entry, casting colored light across the space.
