Recently updated inside and outside, this vintage 1908 Colonial Revival-style cottage is filled with charm and lovely early 20th-century architectural features. Located just 2 blocks to Encinal Market and only 4 blocks to both Lincoln Middle and Otis Elementary schools, this sweet, newly updated home features 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, formal living and dining rooms, a large eat-in kitchen and a bonus room/office. The home's semi-finished Victorian-era "high basement" w/ garage measures an additional 893 SF, potentially providing significant home square footage expansion (buyer to verify with county/city codes). Recent updates/remodels include new interior/exterior paint, refinished hardwood floors, new bonus room carpeting and new light fixtures. The large eat-in kitchen has new flooring, quartz counters, new hardware and refreshed cabinets. A bonus room off the kitchen makes a great home office, studio or playroom, and gives easy access to attic storage. The newly landscaped front and side yards create wonderful curb appeal + great gardening opportunities! The home's sought-after East End location is just minutes to parks, schools, the shoreline, the South Shore Center and the SF Ferry. Loads of charm in this East Bay jewel!
