DRY IN IRMA! This 2 BR, 2.5 bath ranch--a John Valdes renovation, and favored home in North City! Wide open floor plan with rich wood, divided glass windows and doors, glossy Saltillo tile, antique chandelier and authentic palm leaf fan-- are we in Havana? Large Den could be an easy Bedroom #3 or office. Charming, with private gardens out every door to patios & loggias of jasmine and bougainvillea--the floor plan is skillful, with designer touches indicative of the very best! Masonry construction, Totally re-designed with wooden floors, saltillo Mexican tile and lots of crown moldings & trim--luxury builder, John Valdes created a custom masterpiece from a small vintage 1940's ranch, by adding an inviting private entrance with welcoming courtyard, garden walls in front, with walk outs from the back rooms to more private areas for plants, birds, flowers and outdoor entertainment. So many French doors and windows create a feel of being outdoors while inside! Special features, like a real palm ceiling fan, a private bath for each bedroom--shows the thoughtful planning throughout. Add a laundry area in Master, which means no dragging the laundry around the house. A converted single car garage offers a flex room for office, den or 3rd non-conforming bedroom--it's super easy to add a closet here if you're set on a third bedroom. You can't miss the luxurious jasmine-covered parking arbor with Pink and purple bougainvillea-- known throughout the neighborhood for magnificent blooms! With a long lot, the opposite side of the house offers a spacious brick paver patio with yet another ivy covered arbor--and room here to add a garage. A short bike ride to the Historic district, but tucked in a quiet, timeless Fullerwood, with salt-marsh close enough to drag a kayak!
