About this home

2609 Mathews Street is a Craftsman Bungalow built in 1924. Upon entry you will be in a formal entry area, to the right, you will see the living room fireplace, with bookshelves and windows on either side. The dining room has built-in china cabinet. Two south facing bedrooms are located adjacent to the dining room. The bath has recently been updated but the original deep bathtub is still in place. The original kitchen with vintage cabinets is awaiting an update. The hallway off the kitchen has storage, laundry facilities, and leads to the third bedroom and back yard. The flat back yard has Camellia bushes, a lemon tree, an area that is ideal for an ADU, if permitted. Off street parking will accommodate several vehicles. The home interior has fresh paint, refinished wood floors, new light fixtures, a new roof, and the sewer lateral is compliant. The home is a short distance to San Pablo Park, services along San Pablo Ave, public transit, and easy access to I-80.
