Rockridge Traditional Perfectly Re-imagined
Built in 1913, 5845 Colby Street is a quintessential Craftsman home in an unbeatable Rockridge location. Completely reconfiguration in 2017 with its new open-concept layout, stylish design details, updated systems and unbeatable indoor-outdoor living, this now four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence is picture-perfect and ready for modern living.
Opening with a wide covered veranda that spans the front of the home it is sprinkled with period touches throughout. The formal entry and grand staircase offer an exciting first impression and view of the sunlit great room that is to come. The cozy living room, with decorative fireplace and mantle, features built-in shelving and sits adjacent to an expansive gourmet kitchen. Designed with sleek, bright finishes, a speaker system, and high-end appliances, it is ideal for those who love to cook and entertain. The pendant studded center island has an extravagant “The Galley” brand modular sink workstation, plus plenty of storage, counter space, and bar seating. This is one with the great room, which has been taken down to the studs, leaving special features like coffered ceilings, and now powered, built-in cabinet and stained-glass window untouched. Overlooking the garden, three glass doors can be left open nearly year-round which flow to a spacious Ipe deck and fenced yard. A charming powder room completes the main level.
Upstairs awaits a newly enhanced primary retreat, with a bonus nursery, office, or fourth bedroom. The contemporary en-suite has a wall of glass overlooking the garden, dual vanity, and subway tiled glass-door shower. Across the generous landing are two more bedrooms, one also en-suite with a trendy wooden vanity, and rain shower. A sliding barn door reveals storage shelves and an alternating-stair up to the finished attic. The space is a clean and blank canvas that can easily transform to fit your needs.
The backyard has been recently revamped with a new lawn, artistic climbing structure, deck for dining, and more. A bonus outbuilding was recently rebuilt and is fully equipped to become your home office or workout room. With off-street parking and side dog run this home is rich with added features.
Enjoy Rockridge’s friendly neighborhood atmosphere, just blocks to BART, College Avenue’s top-rated eateries, markets, and more. 5845 Colby is east bay living at its finest, recently modernized to perfection, with even more opportunities to make it your own. This home is a true stand-out, welcome home.
