201 Beverly Ave San Leandro, CA 94577

This house was built in 1926 by the noted architect William Raymond Yelland. According to a common myth, Yelland was inspired by the French country houses he observed while stationed in France during World War I. This residence continues in this French farmhouse tradition. It combines timeless old-growth wood framing with a romantic, quirky, and inquisitive sense of wonder. The unique rooms and spaces of this house make every corner a new and unique space to explore.The front entry brings you into a lofted cathedral space; the entry stairwell leads up to the two bedrooms that create a special retreat amongst the leaves of the surrounding trees. The owner's suite at the ground floor addition spills out through French doors onto the parklike backyard where a curving slate path entices you to explore the back of the property.
