Lovingly Remodeled home in the perfect Rockridge location

5806 Lawton Avenue may qualify as one of the perfect Rockridge homes. This nearly 2,900 square foot four bedroom, three bath home is in the best location Rockridge has to offer.

Lovingly remodeled by its owners, this now stunning single family home features quality workmanship and upgraded systems.  The capacious living room has box beams, floor to ceiling book shelves and a decorative hearth all which flows to the adjacent office that overlooks the tree-lined street.

Its formal dining room is full of light from the west facing windows and easily leads to the expansive kitchen with its large island, delightful butler’s pantry, beautifully detailed cabinets and top grade appliances. Completing the lower level is the first of the four bedrooms which boast large closets and an adjacent bath.

Unique to this home is both its front formal stair and rear staircase.  Up the rear stair, you find the master suite, with vaulted ceiling, large walk-in closet and private verdant balcony. Its bath is designed with period detailing, including a soaking tub, all in keeping with the tone and style of the home. Cleverly designed for flexibility it connects to the adjacent upstairs second bath which features a large glass shower. Finally there is the laundry center cabinet and the last two large bedrooms each with large closets.

The rear garden with its quaint storage shed and brick patio, perfect for a summer dinner party, is fully fenced and completes the home. 
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. 5806 is this perfect home and is just two blocks from College Avenue and its shops, restaurants, BART, and freeway access. It really makes it easy to enjoy.
