Description
Rare Opportunity to Own a slice of Maybeck's legacy, one of Bernard Maybeck's earliest but simple designs, a brown shingle cottage built for Louise Keeler, artist, and wife of Charles Keeler. Originally the detached art studio for the iconic Keeler House 1895 was designed and built approximately 7 years later, circa 1902. There was no kitchen in the original construction as it was an art studio*, however, take a peek underneath the stairs where plumbing was in place for a sink used by the artist. This historic treasure is a rustic 1-plus bedroom home, exuding timeless charm with its original redwood interiors, exposed redwood rafters and beams, and oak floors. The living room features a stunning brick fireplace and hearth, meticulously rebuilt and retrofitted in 1989-1990, preserving the home's authentic character while ensuring more modern stability. The tandem bedroom, added circa 1950 along with the kitchen, has served as a second bedroom for the current owner. Outside, the flourishing front garden is a verdant sanctuary featuring ferns surrounding a tranquil fish pond, olive trees and mature plants on terraced levels. Public bus lines and Bart close by. This is a landmarked historical house.
