About This Home

As of June 2017

If you are going to own in the historic Vendome neighborhood, you need to own a Craftsman. Meticulously loved and maintained by the owners. The built in cabinetry distracts your eyes from the characteristic pocket doors and intricate woodwork. The beautiful Azure blue counter tops contrast perfectly against the natural wood stained floors. Craftsman homes and open concept don't typically go hand in hand; but standing in the kitchen and staring through the french doors to the back yard it's hard to say where interior and exterior space meet. The spiral staircase? Send the kids up and let their imagination describe the unclaimed 600 sq ft of bonus space/2 rooms to you! Long day? Imagine retiring in the claw bathtub drinking a glass of wine your spouse has retrieved from the wine cellar in the basement. Don't miss the art created in the artist studio out back.
