Pick of the Week February 17, 2012
Driving up the slight incline on Winsor from Lakeshore Avenue feels, first of all, as if you’re being transported to another time, and for me the Golden Age of Hollywood came to mind. With stately, early twentieth century homes with mature redwoods and palms and the modestly hilly topography with mildly curvy roadways that are so characteristic of some of our most desirable neighborhoods, this one hits the mark. Walk up the step to enter and immediately you feel greeted by elegance without pretentiousness. With updates in all the right places and reverence for the era in all the others the fresh paint inside is clean and crisp, the floors are preserved and stunning wide-plank hardwood, and the slight rise of the lot is echoed in the split level design of the home. With two bedrooms, a den and one large full bath on the level up a few steps from the kitchen and entertaining areas the family area with its middle hallway feels like a perfect promenade to the back garden with a lush lawn and gorgeous landscaping. A detached garage sits at the very back of the property and opens for cars to a private drive behind this street’s homes, which makes for yet another reminder of another era. And overlooking this back garden and the valley view to the southwest is the master suite complete with its own balcony, gigantic closet, and full bath plus a fourth bedroom/nursery room all completely new in condition and style. Walk from here to the Lakeshore business district’s restaurants and shops, plus the Saturday Farmer’s Market, and Lake Merritt if you’re feeling adventurous. This home is a superstar and it’ll be open this Sunday, February 19th from 2-4:30pm. Have a look for yourself!
