Remarks:
Architecturally significant, this Maybeck-designed house is a refuge with Old World charm. Originally built for Hiram D. Kellogg on Regent Street the house was later moved to this location.

The wood-shingled façade is draped in beautiful wisteria and frames the two-story bay window that filters in light without sacrificing privacy. The steeply pitched roof, tall ivy covered fireplace, hip-roofed dormers and cantilevered bays create visual harmony.

The interior spaces are open yet well defined and accented by a wall of bookcases, fireplace with built-in seating, unfinished redwood and high, open beamed ceilings. The architect-designed kitchen blends cherry wood cabinets, concrete and butcher block counters, cork floors and stainless steel appliances with superior planning and craftsmanship. French doors in the dining room access the patio with an espaliered fig tree that rests on a shady arbor, a wonderful green screen for hot summer days. In addition to the two bedrooms, a loft-style room can function as an office, playroom or sleeping area. A separate light filled cottage with bath has French doors that open to a well-established garden that provides a connection to nature and a sense of seclusion.

Tasteful updates and improvements by the current owners include; built-in TV cabinet, lighting, landscaping, built-in shelves in cottage, wood shake roof and tankless water heater.

This very special property is in the coveted Elmwood neighborhood with a 98 from walkscore.com.
