About this home

Exceptional Spanish Revival designed by Lionel Henry Pries, blending timeless architecture with modern comfort in coveted Crocker Highlands. Nestled among tall evergreens, this light-filled home features white stucco walls, a red clay tile roof, arched divided-light windows and a charming arched entry framed by wrought-iron accents. In the luminous grand living room an artisan-forged centerpiece chandelier evokes old-world romance and Moorish elegance beneath vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, complete with fireplace. The formal dining room sits in a dramatic octagonal turret, while the chef’s kitchen offers quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, a pro-grade Bertazzoni range and breakfast bar. A main-level ensuite bedroom featuring a wood burning fireplace doubles as guest suite, au pair space, or den, opening to a private patio with brick fireplace. Upstairs lives a serene primary suite plus additional ensuite bedroom with lounge nook. The bathrooms feature a mix of marble, hexagon tile, Venetian plaster and modern fixtures. The lower level includes a spacious garage ideal as gym/flex space, a separate laundry room and additional storage. Near Crocker Highlands Elementary, Lake Merritt, shops & SF access.

Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Age of Property & Potential Maintenance: Built in 1926, while beautifully preserved and updated, the property's age may imply potential for unforeseen maintenance or future updates to core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) not explicitly detailed as modernized.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for some buyers during warmer periods, especially given the home's age and potential for heat retention.
Ongoing Association Fee: An association fee of $227.0 is an additional recurring monthly expense for a single-family residence, which may be an unexpected cost or undesirable for some potential homeowners.
