Tucked along a tree-lined street in Lower Elmwood, directly across from enchanting Halcyon Commons Park, this completely renovated 2+BD/2BA bungalow blends thoughtful modern upgrades with warmth and charm. Surrounded by greenery yet moments from BART, cafes, and neighborhood favorites, the 1350 SQFT home offers a rare combination of tranquility and central convenience. From the new tile steps and welcoming porch, step into a bright living room where sunlight pours through oversized dual-pane windows, including a picture window framing the park across the street. A cozy fireplace anchors the space, while new wood floors and recessed lighting continue through the dining room and into the beautifully redesigned kitchen. The kitchen was built for both everyday ease and gathering, featuring high-end Bosch appliances, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplashes, and a cheerful breakfast nook overlooking the backyard. Two bedrooms are tucked into a private sleeping wing alongside a stylishly remodeled hall bath with beautiful tilework above the tub. The primary suite features a chic ensuite bath with dual vanity and frameless glass shower, while the second bedroom enjoys two closets and backyard views. Downstairs, a spacious bonus area offers flexibility for an office, studio, playroom, guest space, or creative retreat. Outside, both the front and rear yards have been thoughtfully redesigned: entertain on the spacious patio, garden in the raised beds, or enjoy the low-maintenance turf and lush landscaping designed for year-round enjoyment. Major upgrades include a new roof and gutters, heating system, electrical system, copper plumbing, tankless water heater, garage door, retrofit foundation bolts, french drain, wall and attic insulation, engineered shear walls, and sewer lateral compliance. A one-car garage provides off-street parking, and BART is just blocks away. Home Energy Score: 8
