About This Home
This Eastside GEM is located in a stellar location. A premier corner lot on Westminster and Walnut, a highly desirable street with alley access, a FULL driveway and a 3 car garage. You don't see many of these lots and amenities in Eastside. PLUS the home was custom built in 1987 and it is a charmer. You'll enter the front door and step into a cozy entry alcove with a sitting bench and desk space. Perfect for quiet solitary reading space or it can be used as a traditional entry mudroom to take off your shoes and jackets, hang your bags and store your keys. Just past the alcove, you'll enter into the spacious great room with wide open living area, formal dining area and the fabulous kitchen and adjacent dining nook. There are TWO separate fireplaces in the home: one is located on the main level in the great room and the other is located in the primary bedroom suite. The HUGE custom kitchen boasts stylish quartz counters with bar seating, endless cabinets with open shelving & a desk space, a walk-in pantry & a 6-burner Viking range. PLUS there's a center island for meal prep & double dishwashers for ease. An adjacent dining nook seats an army with a built-in bench & wall of windows to let in all the fabulous natural light. 3/4 bathroom & a separate laundry room too. Upstairs, the primary suite has vaulted ceilings, walk-in closet & ensuite bathroom with large soaking tub, a separate oversized shower & double sinks. There's a private balcony deck off the primary suite as well. On the other side of the upstairs are the additional 3 bedrooms (Two have window seats) and the bathroom which are all connected to a common family room/bonus room space, perfect for tv viewing or games. Just above this family room/bonus room is an open loft style space which is currently used for storage. But, use your imagination here, as it could be another bonus room for kids/teens play space or a tucked away workspace for those who run a business from home. Outside, there is a wonderful front patio with built-in BBQ and wrap around raised beds for all of your seasonal gardening pleasures. The backyard is enclosed and private with covered patio spaces, a lawn area and numerous planting beds. Mature fruit trees are sprinkled throughout the property. Finishing off the amenities are a 3 car garage & large gated side space that's perfect for storage shed, bikes & recreational items. Roof replaced in 2024, windows replaced in 2015. One-of-a-kind Eastside home!
