Exceptional Glenview home

Welcome to 1322 E 38th Street! Stop to smell the roses before ascending the new custom slate tiling (2023) that adorns the stairs leading up to the front porch of this beautiful period home, thoughtfully updated, while still respecting its history.  

This delightful home boasts loads of vintage charm, with modern updates featuring 3 bedrooms, one full bath, and one half bath. Luxuriate in the ample space of the formal living room and dining room while entertaining and enjoying a meal. Find the half bath artfully tucked away behind the “secret” Murphy bookcase door – including a new Toto toilet and bidet. 

The chef’s kitchen features quartzite countertops, new Samsung appliances (2023), and soft-close tongue and groove cabinetry with generous storage space. Enjoy your morning beverage and breakfast in the cheerful kitchen nook and coffee bar with generous additional kitchen storage. 

New on-demand water heater (2023), period-inspired stained glass light fixtures, and refinished historic hardwood floors throughout make for a comfortable and cozy experience. On the same level as the living room/dining room/kitchen, revel in the convenience of one of the three bedrooms that can either serve as a home office or guest room. Make your way up one-half flight of stairs to the remaining two bedrooms on their own private floor, including a fully remodeled bathroom complete with a new bidet, an oversized “bookmarked” porcelain shower surround, and a new vanity (2023). Continue back through the kitchen and down the half flight, where the generous downstairs space awaits--a great area to hang out or play, to use as additional office space, or a media room. * The one-car garage can either be accessed through the this space or by the extra-long driveway from the street.

The private backyard offers abundant space to entertain, lounge, play, garden or read - while getting lost in the peace and tranquility under the trees and within the soft sounds of the Italian fountain. It’s the perfect outdoor retreat, complete with a utility sink and a 900-year-old redwood table adjacent. New French drain and sprinkler systems have been added, as well as new copper piping from the street and throughout the house (2023). 

In desirable Glenview, this home is ideally located near shops, restaurants, and schools,** and is conveniently situated for a commute on I-580 or Hwy 13. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to make this meticulously updated home your own! 

*Permit status for the downstairs space is unknown. Neither seller nor listing agent has investigated or verified the accuracy of any of these sources of information nor that these spaces are or may be made into legally habitable spaces. Buyer must conduct their own investigation with the city and appropriate professionals and rely solely on that investigation.

**Any interested parties should verify school district and availability, as attendance and attending the closest school is not guaranteed.
