With an Eye-catching exterior, this elevated Bungalow house sits on 1.5 lots of the originally surveyed Fruitvale Villas neighborhood. It is situated near the end of a cul-de-sac which ends at the Peralta Hacienda Park, which makes for a quiet tight-knit neighborhood. Built in 1910 this well-constructed house was completely renovated in 2015 with the addition of another bedroom and full bath bringing the total to 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. An attractively patterned brick pathway leads up to brick stairs. The front of the house is comprised of a porch extending half of its breadth and a Bay window adorns the other half of the front wall. The roof is hipped with a large hipped dormer adding to the unique architectural beauty observed from the front walk. The front door opens into the main room which is the combined kitchen and living room. The flooring is bamboo hardwood that makes an immediate impression. The kitchen is newly remodeled with dark wood cabinets creating a stunning contrast to the wide expanses of countertops and the island top which are surfaced in gold and grey granite. A tiled mosaic backsplash extends from the stove up to the stainless steel exhaust hood and its variegated gold, yellow and brown colors make the kitchen "pop". Ten foot ceilings with crown molding and walls with 8 inch baseboards finish out the main room and large windows allow for an abundance of light. The bedrooms are large with large closets which sport uniquely attractive solid wood pocket doors. The master bedroom has a full bathroom attached which is newly remodelled with a glass fronted walk-in shower. The community bathroom is also remodelled and both bathrooms sport eye-catching tile lining the shower and shower/bathtub. A large laundry room, complete with washer and electric and gas dryer hookups, stretches across the rear of the house and opens onto a back porch which overlooks a cozy, manicured back lawn with a bricked patio/barbeque area at the back of the property. The perimeter of the fenced in back yard is demarkated with a wide flowerbed and fruit trees (one lemon and the other apricot). The back of the property also contains the detached 2 car garage, both it and the house sport new roofs as of 2015. A motorized wooden driveway gate completes the fencing of the back yard making it dog-amenable.
