Glenview Craftsman with Versatile ADU

The Cush Real Estate by Design team is proud to present our newest listing, a Glenview Craftsman with Versatile ADU, located at 3920 Ardley Avenue.

Set on one of Glenview’s most peaceful, tree-lined streets, this beautifully updated Craftsman offers a rare blend of architectural character, modern amenities, and exceptional flexibility. Whether you’re seeking a stunning single-family home with a high-quality accessory dwelling unit for extended family, guests, or supplemental income, or a true duplex with a luxurious owner’s residence upstairs, this property delivers.

The main level lives like a gracious single-family home, anchored by a warm and inviting living room featuring a travertine-faced gas fireplace, a large picture window overlooking the tranquil streetscape, and an elegant double tray ceiling with recessed lighting. The space flows seamlessly into the dining area and chef’s kitchen, creating an ideal layout for both everyday living and entertaining.

Designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind, the chef’s kitchen features a spacious center island, stone countertops, artisan tile backsplash walls, stainless steel appliances, designer pendant lighting, and an abundance of cabinetry and pantry storage rarely found in homes of this vintage. Whether preparing weeknight meals or hosting larger gatherings, the kitchen offers exceptional workspace, storage, and functionality throughout.

The bedroom wing offers excellent separation and privacy. Two well-proportioned bedrooms share a beautifully appointed hall bath accented with natural stone finishes, while the expansive primary suite occupies the rear of the home. This private retreat features its own lounge area, a deck overlooking the neighborhood, and a spa-inspired bathroom complete with a Jacuzzi tub, frameless glass shower, and dual-sink vanity. A dedicated laundry area adds everyday convenience.

Adding to the comfort of the upper residence, the main level is equipped with air conditioning—an increasingly appreciated amenity during warmer East Bay days.

Downstairs, a thoughtfully designed and separately accessed apartment offers exceptional flexibility. With its own dedicated rear entrance, the lower-level residence features two spacious en-suite bedrooms, each with a private full bath, generous living and dining areas, a well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and its own in-unit laundry. Ideal as an ADU, multigenerational living space, guest quarters, or income-producing rental.

Outside, level rear gardens and patios create a wonderful setting for entertaining, outdoor dining, gardening, and play. Additional features include prepaid leased solar power, off-street parking, a large detached two-car garage, and numerous structural and system upgrades throughout.

The detached garage offers excellent flexibility for storage, workshop space, or future possibilities. Buyers may wish to explore the potential for additional living space or accessory dwelling opportunities, subject to city approvals and verification.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Glenview, you’ll enjoy being just moments from neighborhood favorites including Paulista Brazilian Kitchen, Marzano, and Bellanico, while Glenview Elementary, local parks, and convenient commuter options place the best of the Bay Area within easy reach. Nearby bus lines, popular Park Boulevard commute options, and quick Bay Bridge access provide easy connections to San Francisco and beyond.

A rare opportunity to own a versatile Glenview property that lives beautifully as either an elegant single-family home with a premium ADU or a thoughtfully configured duplex with a truly exceptional owner’s residence. Combining timeless Craftsman character, modern comforts, flexible multi-generational living potential, and an outstanding location, this is Glenview living at its finest.
