A premier street in lower north Hillsborough is the setting for this architectural grande dame freshly updated and ready to move in or awaiting a further transformation into your own dream vision. Distinguished by the refined grace and character that comes only through the passage of time, this magnificent home dates to 1938 on an elevated street that presents San Francisco Bay views from the upper level. Vintage appointments that recall its early heritage are on display at every turn combined with fresh paint inside and out plus updates in the kitchen and all bathrooms. Fine hardwood floors unify the entire home, and expansive windows and glass doors fill the spaces with abundant light. The floor plan is ever so spacious spanning three levels with a traditional arrangement of 5 bedrooms upstairs plus a lower level with potential as an Accessory Dwelling Unit. Outside, old world glamour continues around the spacious pool and brick terrace along with a pool cabana with large spa and ample room for fitness or entertaining. The entire setting is abundantly private on a level lot of nearly one-half acre, plus this home has access to excellent Hillsborough schools.
