Something about the timeless appeal of the Arts & Crafts period tugs at your heartstrings. Attention paid to the smallest detail, intimate rooms that encourage conversation between people, aesthetically pleasing architectural elements in every room - in short, a warm and welcoming place to call home. This Historic District Craftsman maintains its cottage appearance but lives larger thanks to a thoughtfully executed 2nd-story addition in back overlooking Lake Maria Sanchez. Come inside and see. A traditional receiving room centers around a gas fireplace clad in period tile and is a favorite spot particularly in cooler weather. Centrally located, the dining room with wainscot walls is between the living room and kitchen so guests will move easily from the front porch to the back with the common rooms in the middle. An elevated bar keeps kitchen counters out of view from the dining room so you can cook with abandon. Lots of counterspace and cabinets keep everything you need in easy reach and there's room for two or more to spread out. Open to the kitchen, the family room is a cozy room for watching movies, catching a snooze or settling in for a long read. A little breeze off the lake comes through the screened porch during morning coffee and evening cocktails. The 1st floor en-suite master is an intimate retreat with a compact bathroom that beautifully serves. A hall bath accommodates the 2nd bedroom and day guests. Upstairs an overflow guest room (for kids of all ages) has beds built in under the eaves and two storage cubbies. A long center room offers plenty of room for two work stations and a skylight brings in the afternoon sun. The addition in back is huge and would make a wonderful upstairs master with room for a large bathroom and closet if this suits your plan. A small covered balcony looks over the garden and lake. Patios on the north and west side offer outdoor entertaining area and a single-car garage is on the Cordova St side. It's as sweet as it looks.
