Sunny, happy and healthy – Spanish/Med Glen Park Cottage
As you enter the strong south sun warms you through the living room windows. You can see the rear garden beckoning beyond the kitchen. Bright and refreshed, 32 Van Buren is ready for the next generation to move in and thrive. (The current owner has enjoyed it since 1972!) Built in 1922 in the Spanish/Mediterranean style, the main level has two bedrooms (one of which can be used as a sitting room if desired), one art deco bath and a huge kitchen that features a separate dining nook + a utility room. With laundry hookups in the garage, this can be used as an art area or home office. Stepping out the utility room door onto the level patio, the opportunity for a culinary garden is obvious. Imagine just stepping out to grab a little parsley or some thyme to enhance your latest creation or taking morning coffee in the sun. A few more steps away, the detached garage provides space for laundry, storage and parking. Downstairs, accessed through the side yard or driveway are a family room and bonus bath, more storage and space for the water heater and furnace. The family room is amply lit by a large sliding glass door that opens to a private green space – calming to look at while you are working and a good opportunity for some fresh air.
The location of this home is amazing. Hiking in Glen Canyon Park and fun at the Recreation Center or community and connection at Walter Haas Park (with dog area) are right around the corner. Glen Park Village is just a short jaunt away with the best groceries at Glen Canyon Market, superb Italian food at Manzoni or Gialina’s, French at soon to open La Cigale, food for thought at the Glen Park public library. There is a gym, book store, gift shop, sushi restaurant, diner, several coffee shops and even a dry cleaner. You can live well and never leave the hood, but if you decide to go, BART can get you so many places, there is easy access to the 101 and 280 Freeways, plus access to Google and Genentech shuttles!
