About This Home
As of August 2025This beautifully restored 1916 craftsman bungalow blends timeless character with smart updates. From the original wood floors and built-ins to the classic hex tile and clawfoot tub, vintage charm runs deep — but all the hard work is done. The remodeled kitchen and bathroom shine while French doors lead to a covered deck perfect for year-round entertaining. Downstairs, a temperature-controlled wine storage room adds a unique touch, and a radon mitigation system has already been installed for peace of mind. Outside, enjoy a spacious fenced yard perfect for gardening and play. Additional flex space with garage, shed, and tons of off-street parking in the oversized driveway. Major upgrades include newer roof, siding, windows, plumbing, furnace, A/C, paint, and more. All on a quiet street, just minutes from parks, shops, transit, and everything that makes Overlook and Arbor Lodge such a desirable place to call home. [Home Energy Score = 4. HES Report at
