Property Description

Set in the stunning Mira Vista hills, 685 Kern is filled with natural sunlight, warm hardwood floors, & timeless details including beveled glass windows & a garden window. Spacious living room with an easy flow into a fully renovated kitchen, & a dining room that opens onto a natural wood deck with incredible views of the bay and Mt. Tamalpais. Split level, the upstairs provides privacy from the hosting areas. Enjoy a walk-in rain shower and beautiful tile work in the upstairs bathroom. Every room has a custom-built closet. With light dimmers, ceiling fans, and many windows — each room offers ultimate comfort. Recently installed AC will keep you cool throughout the summer. Escape into your backyard, which is landscaped with the quintessential California experience, from mature redwoods & citrus trees to a fully grown palm. Host BBQs on the private lower deck & ping pong competitions in the finished garage. Work-from-home has never been more peaceful, as you take meetings in a craftsman teakwood home office. The space transforms into a cozy guest room, with a full-size Murphy bed & mini split heater/cooler. Keep everything from large suitcases to holiday decor in large storage spaces. Convenient for commuters, with a short drive to BART. A perfect home to welcome summer.
