This charming craftsman home has been well cared for by the early owner, an architect. The shadow ceilings are unique and give dimension to the space. Upstairs are two large bedrooms. The master has a large separate sitting room and a nice sized walk in closet. The master also offers many windows overlooking the backyard facing to the north. The bathroom is charming with a modern claw tub, walk-in shower and a floating sink. There are built-in enclosed cupboards on each side of the sink with ample storage that you will certainly appreciate. Both the front and back yard are landscaped with love and detail by the past two owners. Enjoy relaxing on a southern style front porch with ceiling fans to keep you cool. Off the kitchen you’ll enjoy a private deck that overlooks the garden landscaped backyard and pergola. Please reach out to your realtor for a list of home improvements. New roof with warranty, gutters, water heater, all windows restored by historian, kitchen tile floors, side by side driveway (not shared) has new concrete & storm drain, and much more. A bonus parking slab at the front of home. If you wish for a 2nd bathroom on the main, the plumbing lines up in the front room entering the home. See photos for office space. Ideal for a powder room and stackable washer/dryer. All the work has been done by the past two owners. This home is move-in ready.
