Vintage meets modernism in this cool retreat with fabulous yard, bonus studio, and views of SF, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Mt Tam.

Enter 1514 Santa Clara and you are greeted by a living room with vaulted wood ceilings, large windows and a warm fireplace. The space flows into the dining area, which has sunny views to the south and the east across the bay. A large pass-through breakfast bar area connects the room to the updated kitchen, featuring high-end appliances and cork flooring.

The kitchen opens to a small deck perfect for BBQing, and the larger patio and maturely landscaped yard with draught tolerant pants. A barrel sauna anchors the north end of the yard, while the patio wraps around the east side of the home, offering more seating and protected play areas, as well as a small garden work-bench and a charming cedar bike and tool storage shed.

Back inside the main home, both bedrooms look out onto the side yard. The principal bedroom has vaulted ceilings and a glass door to the patio. The bathroom has been updated, keeping in mind the overall vintage feel of the home. There is laundry just off the kitchen, and the entire home has dual-pane acoustically treated windows. 

The original 2 car garage has been converted to a spacious 300+sqft bonus room with a dutch-door, high ceilings, cork flooring and a full bathroom. The driveway features new pavers and has an electric wooded gate, offering secure parking for 3 cars on the large parking pad.

With a combination of warmth and light indoors, and an array of outdoor possibilities for entertaining or play, 1514 Santa Clara is an exciting and comfortable home any time of the year.
