22 Truitt Lane

Updated Upper Rockridge Mid-Century

Imagine living on a serene cul-de-sac where learning how to ride a bike or shooting a basketball  is easy. Then add an Upper Rockridge location on a large lot where you are never far from what you need with Terrace Gifts and Coffee, Village Market and the Broadway Terrace Nursery less than a mile away. Experience all of this and more from this updated mid-century with an open floorplan that suits a variety of lifestyles. Designed to accommodate a large household, with several plus rooms for work and play, 22 Truitt Lane is a home that can offer comfort and flexibility for a lifetime.

Open the front gate and you’ll discover a tile walkway, private courtyard and garden, completely fenced in and perfect for lounging and outdoor dining. Head inside and the foyer reveals a grand living room with views of the East Bay Hills, Mt. Tamalpais and a peek of the San Francisco Bay. Newly refinished random plank light wood floors extend into the dining room, ready to host large family gatherings.

The kitchen has generous counter space for a household that enjoys cooking together and, in addition to the standard equipment, features a new range, built-in gas wok, wine fridge, desk and large pantry with laundry hookups. Built-in bench seating beneath a wall of windows provides the perfect spot for casual dining and sipping your morning coffee.  Access to the two-car attached garage is a few feet away for convenience when unloading your groceries and passengers.

There are plenty of places to rest with five bedrooms. The primary suite enjoys stunning views, multiple closets and a recently refreshed bath. A second bedroom on the  main floor has built-in shelves and opens to the front courtyard through sliding doors. The remaining three bedrooms are downstairs on the middle level, centered around a great room with a second fireplace and built-in snack/beverage area.  There is plenty of space for movie nights, sleepovers and parties.  A large laundry room with storage space, remodeled bath  and a bonus room that can function as an office complete the middle floor.

Designed for recreation, the bottom level features a family room with cabinetry that opens to a huge solarium where you feel like you are outdoors and can enjoy even in the most inclement weather. An adjacent tatami room provides tranquility, with Shoji screen panels, a sauna and a fourth bathroom for convenience.

The expansive rear grounds offer the potential for a manicured level area for play, entertaining and relaxation.  The garden enthusiast will enjoy transforming the space to suit their individual lifestyle. At just under two miles to Rockridge BART, close to public transit and freeway access, you can be on your way in minutes to your next Bay Area destination. With UC Berkeley and regional parks nearby, this location can’t be beat.
