Set behind a fenced front garden with a mature oak and a cherry tree, 1010 Keeler Avenue offers mid-century flair and a layout that just makes sense. Loved by the same family for six decades, the home comes to market for the first time in a generation. The entry is level — no steps — and opens to an updated eat-in kitchen that flows into a spacious living and dining room with access to a deck. The main level offers true single-level living: three good-sized bedrooms and two baths, including an en-suite, all on the entry floor. Both bathrooms have been updated (check out the cool floor tile!) while keeping touches of their original character. Downstairs, a fourth bedroom and bath give guests their own quarters, alongside a generous family room — complete with built-in bookshelves — that opens to a second deck. A hobby room rounds out the lower level, a flexible space waiting for your ideas — studio, videogame den, wine room, you name it. A separate exterior entrance to part of the lower level offers future ADU potential — extended family, home office, or income possibilities down the road. The indoor-outdoor flow works on both levels. The fenced front garden catches the morning sun — an ideal spot to sit with coffee or the paper — while decks off both the main living room and the downstairs family room extend the living space outside. And there is a yard too, ready for your vision. The upper deck faces West - enjoy the sunsets! The two- car garage is actually usable and the house has great storage throughout and so many closets, you will lose track if you try to count them. The practical boxes are checked too: updated electrical (no knob-and-tube), new appliances, sewer lateral compliant, and really well maintained throughout. Energy Score is a 1. The kids in this house grew up being told "go play in the park"; Remillard Park is a wonderful park with grassy areas, an awesome playground and a rock to climb (Pinnacle Rock) and it is, quite literally, just down the street. It's also a gathering place for the community.  Enjoy city and Bay views from several windows, the feeling of being secluded and the convenience of a 6-minute drive from Keeler to Marin Ave to Solano Ave - and all it has to offer!
