An original North End cottage with storybook charm and a rich legacy! Built in 1915 and lovingly expanded, this delightful home showcases the creative spirit of a beloved neighborhood artisan. Once the residence and workshop of the North End’s prominent tile maker, it still bears his signature touch of hand-crafted details throughout. The cheerful interior is full of light, warmth, and surprise. Bay windows drench rooms with natural light, while custom tile accents, original wood floors, crown molding, and built-ins add character. The main level offers flexible living with formal living and dining, kitchen, 3 bedrooms & 2 full baths, alive with hand-painted details and colorful tile. Upstairs, a private primary retreat includes a gas fireplace, walk-in closet, and en-suite with steam shower. A nearby room is ideal for nursery or study. The lower level offers opportunity—currently a play area with fresh paint, carpet, laundry, and storage, with potential for additional bedrooms, baths, or a bonus suite. Recent updates enhanced the fenced yard with fruit trees, garden beds, and large detached storage building, with room for a garage or ADU (subject to permits). A whimsical side patio features original artisan tile, a reminder of the home’s roots. Perfectly situated in a coveted North End pocket near the Co-op, foothill trails, downtown & top schools.
