About This Home

As of May 2019

Craftsman-style charm outside marks this 3/2.5 Oakhurst bungalow gem, from the wide eaves overhanging the front porch to the galley kitchen apportioned with amazing storage — finished in granite counters and stainless appliances. Hardwood floors shine throughout, including the living room, where a fireplace nestles between windows, and a dining room large enough for 8. Three spacious bedrooms include a master suite with walk-in closet and private bath. Access the driveway from the front or back, and park beside a large greenspace w/patio beckoning for a grill night.
