Four-tenths of an acre might not sound like much, but in the Bungalow District, it’s a veritable kingdom. At 1321 Alta Vista Road—which is about three times the size of its neighbors—that means there’s room for a sweet Craftsman house, a two-bedroom guest house, and a respectable yard. It’s now on the market for $2.4 million.

Built in 1910, the four-bedroom main house is in excellent shape, with plenty of windows, attractive wainscoting, an impressive fireplace, and a kitchen and bathrooms that don’t need to be touched—a rarity at any price point. The only ground-floor room that doesn’t shine is the dining area, but maybe you’ll be able to dine out on the snazzy new ipe deck, under a towering star pine.
Upstairs is less exciting, but entirely livable; the master bedroom has a window nook large enough for a couple of chairs.
As previously mentioned, the yard is a welcome bit of breathing room in the cozy Bungalow District. There’s even an outdoor dog shower.
On the far side of the star pine is a two-bedroom guest house. The structure would need some work to get it as nice as the main house, but for now, you could keep renting it to the month-to-month tenant.
