Abby & Jesse will always have a special place in their heart for 694 Walavista. It was the first home they purchased, the place they brought both their daughter, Maya, & son, Nico, home to & it was the place where they spent countless hours in the oversized living room, enjoying the supreme natural light. Over the past 11 years, they have worked to improve the property while keeping all of the vintage character & magic that it beholds. Great care was made to add meaningful modern improvements, all while honoring this 1922 Craftsman home with gum-wood details. Throughout their ownership, they added foundation piers, seismic retrofitting, replaced the furnace & water heater, updated the main level bathroom, replaced the roof, & did major electrical improvements that include removing all of the knob & tube wiring! They expanded the property by adding a large den with a closet, & a stunning bathroom that is graced with designer tiles, & a large soaking tub. They used this space as a family/guest room. Enjoy the crisp white walls, the patina of the century-old woodwork & fireplace tiles, the 4 skylights, the abundance of natural light, & the level-out backyard. Enjoy living in a picturesque residential neighborhood that adjoins a popular commercial space & Lake Merritt.
