The architecture is original and true to the styles found throughout "Shasta-Hanchett". Interior built-in features and the massive fireplace are preserved, while the huge kitchen and both baths are updated. Rooms are spacious, comfortable, open, and light-filled. Original floors are newly refinished and they gleam. All three bedrooms are large and airy. One bedroom's closet has been remodeled as a bath with shower. The large kitchen boasts loads of cabinets, an island fit for a chef, gas cook-top, wall oven and microwave, dishwasher, and a desk. The breakfast room is a fine office space, too. The sun room is delightful, and the finished basement is truly usable space. Relax on the sunny deck. Note the garden and fruit trees. Walk to Whole Foods, The Alameda cafes, Sharks, Diridon Station, Downtown, and in the future, Google. So rare, you must not let this special home pass you by. Open Sat/Sun.
