Upper Rockridge Mediterranean embodies indoor/outdoor experience

Twice a week, The Chronicle features a home on the market that caught our eye for its architecture, history or character. Landscaped gardens and inviting recreational spaces flourish around this four-bedroom Mediterranean erected in the Upper Rockridge neighborhood after the 1991 firestorm. Three bedrooms are on the lower level, while a master suite is on the third story and includes a spa bathroom with jetted tub and double shower. A handcrafted pedestrian gate off Acacia Avenue reveals a landscaped front courtyard with climbing plants and pavers. Two sets of French doors connect the covered front porch to a spacious living room accented by a raised fireplace. A Wolf range and Miele appliances outfit the kitchen that is set beside a breakfast area leading to a rear patio with views of Tilden Park.
