About This Home
Fluid, flexible, FABULOUS! Perfectly sited on its own lush green knoll, this 60's retreat is quietly unassuming from the street but simply great in every way as you step thru the gated entry. The flow from room to room & floor to floor and on out to your own park is seamless, the master bedroom up plus 2 down means space, privacy and quiet for everyone, the big dining deck off the living rm & a huge patio off the downstairs family room expands your party options & a unique detached studio is the perfect nanny/granny/creative space. The ample yard is sheltered by a gracious pepper tree & ready for those birthday pinatas, relaxed summer bbq's or kicking around a soccer ball. There's even a designer hen house so those birthday cakes will be made with your own fresh eggs. On the practical side is an ample double attached garage plus 2 driveway parking spots, open kitchen with adjacent nook, fanciful update to the downstairs full bath & a short zip down the hill to all that NELA offers.
