It has been lovingly transformed from a series of small rooms into a very functional two-bedroom flat with a remodeled kitchen/dining room that flows smoothly to a large living room. The home is detached on three sides and light streams in all day long and the view of the greenbelt on the west side forms a relaxing cushion against the convenient urban location. Historic charms have been preserved, while updates make this an easy place to call home. Throughout the home thoughtful touches, such as the coordinated designer lighting, matching gold-tone hardware, and the double sink the main bath, create a peaceful feeling and enhance the utility of the space.

The property is well-located in “outer” Bernal, just a few minutes walk from Glen Park Bart, freeways south, and too many eateries and opportunities to shop to list, but here are a few of the best things in the area: gourmet groceries and wine at Glen Canyon Market, eats at El Buen Comer or Emmy’s Spaghetti Shack; dog walks and playground with views at Holly Park; enjoy the outer Church Street delights of Church Produce, Uma Casa or La Ciccia; (or just stay home and cook in a kitchen so bright, large and functional that it could be used for your soon to be famous cooking blog. This is an unfurnished rental. Furniture not included.
