Inside, the elegant 330-square foot living room is loaded with vintage charm! A handsomely rugged stone fireplace is the focal point of the room that also includes the original oak floor, a built-in bookcase, and an adjacent area that’s large enough to create a separate home office, den or library. The formal dining room, next to the living room, has pocket doors that were routinely used during the Craftsman period for conserving heat and maintaining privacy between the rooms. The large dining room has an oak floor with inlaid rosewood trim, crown moulding, a built-in china hutch and a storage/seating bench that sits under a set of bay windows.

The kitchen is situated behind and left of the dining room, and was just completely remodeled to suit a 21st century lifestyle. The large, thoughtfully designed eat-in kitchen has plenty of white, Shaker-style kitchen cabinets, stainless steel appliances, an oak floor and pretty Calacatta quartz counters. A sunny family room opens to the kitchen, and a concealed laundry closet is conveniently located between the kitchen and family room.

Like most vintage Craftsman-era homes, the bedrooms and bathrooms are located on a dedicated hallway to the right of what was viewed, at the time, as the more public rooms of the home. The primary bedroom is situated off the dining room, a second bedroom is across from the kitchen, and a third bedroom is next to the family room. All three bedrooms are sunny and bright, and feature hardwood floors and generous closets. The full bathroom has been recently remodeled, and has a tub/shower combination, a hex-tile floor and a dual-sink vanity.

The beautiful backyard is sure to bring many hours of outdoor pleasure with fabulous fruit-bearing citrus trees, colorful blooming camellias, an aged brick patio and so much more. A 400-square-foot detached garage includes a full workshop in addition to room for a car. This detached garage offers much possibility for an ADU or home office space.

The present owners are only the second family to live in this much loved home, and are at last ready to give new owners the opportunity to cherish the home as much as they have. Close to top-ranked schools and offering easy access to downtown Park St., South Shore Center, Nob Hill Foods and Encinal Market, this is truly a wonderful home in a great East End location.
