The interior is as lovely as the exterior, with pride of ownership evident everywhere. The open living and dining rooms have many vintage features, including bay windows and a Craftsman stone fireplace in the living room, a built-in china cabinet/sideboard in the dining room, and newly refinished oak floors in both rooms. The kitchen is situated behind the dining room, and has been newly remodeled with quartz counters, new cabinets, stylish light fixtures and an oak floor, and built-in storage window seats.
True to vintage Craftsman bungalow design, this home’s bedrooms are located off the dining room on a dedicated hallway. The spacious primary bedroom is up a split-level stairway to the right, and has an oak floor, corner windows, cedar-lined closets, crown molding and a new light fixture, while the second bedroom is also generously sized and includes the same features as the primary bedroom. A hallway bathroom with a tub and walk-in shower sits between the bedrooms, and has been remodeled with attractive high-end finishes compatible with the home’s age and original Craftsman design. A finished basement bonus space with natural light provides many benefits and flexible uses including a workshop, home office, teen space or home gym. An attractive full bathroom is on this level, and has a shower, pedestal sink and a window for natural light.
Inviting outdoor spaces encourage an indoor/outdoor lifestyle complete with lush landscaping, an expansive patio, a fabulous potting shed – even a Finnish sauna! Charming outdoor artisan touches are everywhere on doors, gates, and the gardens, while the detached two-car garage provides even more potential uses in addition to providing off-street parking.
