About This Home
As of November 2022On a street of colorful California bungalows is this lovely, move-in ready home. Built in 1918, it features modern-day upgrades with stunning period craftsmanship. Hardwood floors gleam wall to wall in the sunny floorplan. A classic foyer leads into the heartwarming living room with a stone fireplace surrounded by finely crafted wood cabinetry. This room easily flows into the oversized dining room featuring beautiful built-in cabinetry. A swinging door opens to the updated, eat-in kitchen with long stone counters, sleek wood cabinetry and ample storage. Enjoy sipping your cup of coffee in the breakfast nook - complete with a custom bench and living edge table - overlooking the mature rear yard. Lining a hallway on the right side of the home are the two generously sized bedrooms with vintage glass doorknobs, large closets, and skylights for natural light. Serving these rooms is a central bath with a cast iron tub for relaxing after a full day. Just out the kitchen is the fully fenced-in yard featuring a deck, garden bursting with colorful flora. Do not miss the herbs and veggies, ideal for farm to table cooking! A super cute tuff shed with window box offers storage options. Sewer compliant, on demand water heater, off street parking & much more. What a special place to call home!
