Two homes in the heart of Rockridge

Located on a tree-lined street, a delightfully unique Rockridge compound awaits. Artfully renovated and lovingly reimagined, this home features a two bedroom, two bathroom main residence plus a charming one bedroom, one bathroom cottage in the rear all sharing an established garden courtyard. Ideal as a family compound, or a possible income property, this property has endless potential. With no detail too small and no expense spared, both homes are completely bespoke, artisan crafted, and cleverly designed.

‍

As you ascend the front stairs, you will begin to notice the artisan touches incorporated into the home, starting with the unique handrail fashioned by Shawn Lovell, a local blacksmith and artist. The entry area welcomes you in, as well as providing thoughtful hidden storage solutions. The garnet-studded Meteorus granite flooring in this space is repeated in the fireplace mantel, creating a cohesive feel through to the living room. This light and bright space includes a pressed tin ceiling, and an original fireplace with flanking bookcases. On either side of the central hallway, with exposed beams and architectural iron monkey bars, is the primary bedroom and bathroom. The primary bedroom features stained glass windows and bespoke closets with customizable cabinet fronts, while the bathroom highlights stunning finishes such as Zinc shower surround and sink deck, Chicago sink faucet, and Toto heated toilet. Truly the heart of the home is the kitchen and dining area. Located towards the back of the home, this space shines with custom cabinetry, Perla Venata quartzite counters, Franke fireclay sinks, and a custom slanted open shelving system.

Leading out from the kitchen’s sliding glass doors, you descend the stairs to the charming inner courtyard. From the lovely established garden, to the wisteria covered arbor, this space invites you to enjoy a glass of wine at dusk or an al fresco dinner party. On the lower level of the main house is a private suite with designer finishes including Scofield stained concrete floors, artisan security trellis, and Guavea Wave glass tiled shower surround in the bathroom. Across the way is the inviting cottage. With a gorgeous wood-lined vaulted ceiling and open floor plan design, the living, dining area and kitchen harmoniously combine. Off this space is the bedroom and bathroom, featuring thoughtful touches such as custom closeting in the bedroom and Fireclay tiles in the bathroom. With off-street parking and each home having its own garage, including solar powered electric car charging station plus a full level of storage or art studio or workshop space below the rear cottage this home has all the on-trend desirable features needed for comfortable living.

‍

Few properties in Rockridge are as perfectly situated to be so near all the wonderful amenities of the area yet have the feel of a sweet tree-lined neighborhood. Just two blocks from College Avenue and its shops, restaurants, BART, and freeway access, 5260 Lawton could not be more ideally located.
