It boasts two spectacular oak fireplace mantels with turned columns, mirrors, and intricate woodcarving, alongside coved plaster ceilings, leaded glass built-ins, and Douglas fir floors. This residence offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a dedicated office/bonus space. The eat-in kitchen is a true highlight, featuring a walk-in pantry and built-in shelving surrounding a classic O'Keefe & Merritt stove. It seamlessly opens to a back deck, providing views of the bay. These antique living spaces harmoniously blend with modern design sensibilities, retaining their inherent charm.

It includes one bedroom, a full bath, separate living and dining areas, and an upper loft. A deck extends from the cottage, offering picturesque views of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.
