Remarks

If you have been searching for a home filled with natural light and original architectural details, on a tree-lined street, close to the fabulous shops, cafes and restaurants in Rockridge, this Craftsman bungalow might just be the culmination of your search. Less than one block to College Ave., this open concept, two-plus bedroom, two ba home, w/ a delightful broad front porch, a handsome living rm with an inglenook, an updated kitchen w/ a Blue Star range and a large dining rm w/ built-in cabinets & a window seat, perfect for gatherings of all sizes, checks every box. The main level offers a living rm w/ a view of the front porch, a gracious dining rm, a kitchen and one bedroom. Up just a few stairs there is a 2nd bedroom and a ba. Downstairs, with level-out yard access, there is a great rm w/ hardwood floor, a wall of windows & French doors. The great room could be used in numerous ways, including as a primary bedroom. Adjacent to it, w/ a view of the backyard, is an alcove, a great home office or play space, a laundry rm & a full ba. So often, with time and transitions between owners, homes lose their original character & authenticity and feel generic and uninspiring. 5559 Kales defies that path. It is thoughtfully updated & brimming w/ character!
