ABOUT THIS HOME
This renovated three bedroom, two bath Victorian — complete with a bonus home office or guest space — is everything you’ve been looking for. With a 93 Walk Score and just steps from the village life of Cortland Avenue, this light-filled home offers spacious, open living across two levels, perfect for family life, entertaining, and more.
A sun washed living, kitchen, and dining level is the heart of the home, where French doors open to a spacious deck and a professionally landscaped stone patio with a lush, private, low-maintenance garden. The renovated kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, an induction range, ceramic tile backsplash, and abundant work and storage space — designed for both beauty and functionality.
Two generous bedrooms at the front of the home are bathed in morning light and share a full, tiled bath with a charming vintage clawfoot tub. Upstairs, the sumptuous principal suite offers a private walk-out balcony overlooking the garden, and a walk-in closet. Across the hall, is the ideal children’s bedroom, and a gorgeous, renovated full tiled bath completes the top level.
The west-facing garden feels like a private resort, shaded by mature palms, evergreens, and a prolific lemon tree. Renovations include a prior owner’s permitted vertical addition with accompanying structural upgrades, as well as the current owner’s permitted kitchen and bath renovations — most notably, removing a wall to create seamless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen spaces.
Additional highlights include beautiful warm wood floors, fresh interior paint, and brand new carpet upstairs. The expansive garage offers two large storage rooms and potential for future expansion. Just a one-minute stroll to Epicurean Trader, Vino Rosso, Martha’s, Pinhole Coffee, Black Jet Bakery, Nute’s Noodles, the Good Life Grocery, the playground, library, and all of Cortland's beloved shops, restaurants, and cafés. A 12-minute walk to the Saturday Alemany Farmers Market, and close to tech shuttles, public transit, and 101/280 freeway entrances.
The whole package — location, space, design, and garden oasis — all in one of Bernal’s most sought-after spots.
