(Represented Buyers 2020) | A Spanish Revival circa 1930, this five-bedroom light-filled Crocker Highlands home embraces preserved character plus updates enhancing three floors of living space. Architectural attributes expressed in stucco, woodwork, and stained glass endow both exterior and interior with Mediterranean majesty. An extensive, options-rich layout features enchanting public spaces and master suite, family room that opens to a deck, dine-in kitchen, and three full bathrooms, one equipped with a sauna. The arcing single-direction block of Carlston Avenue showcases homes on one side, a treed expanse neatly edged with stone wall on the other, and ends with a park space. A serene and green setting, it blends every Crocker Highlands advantage: a location in the company of distinctive period architecture, walkability and bikability throughout the neighborhood, which features beloved schools, farmers markets, unique shops, cafes, Lake Merritt and parks for outdoor recreation, plus transportation.
