Located on a wide, quiet street, this 1925 craftsman cottage is incredibly charming! This home retains much of its original period charm including a delightful shady porch. Beyond the front door, there is a cozy living room with a decorative fireplace with original tile surround, exquisite original built-ins, and French doors to the side patio. There is an adjacent sun room alcove that is the perfect place to enjoy the morning light or curl up and read a book. Beyond the living room is the spacious and bright dining room, also with original built-ins and a French door to the side porch, that is open on one side to the sensitively remodeled kitchen. The open kitchen is well-designed with ample cabinet space and open shelving. There are stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and artistic craftsman tile backsplash. Adjacent to the kitchen is the laundry room and ½ bath. The private space is on the north side of the house and is comprised of 2 large bedrooms including one with a sunny alcove and an updated full bath. The 3rd bedroom is an independent suite, accessible from a spiral staircase on the rear terrace - ideal as a home office or guest room. This bedroom also has access to the substantial unfinished attic. The entertaining space for the home extends to the large flat backyard with a covered pergola, verdant lawn, and detached 2-car garage which functions beautifully as a bonus room. This gracious home is comfortable and elegant, retains so much original detail and character, has been thoughtfully updated, and is ready for a new owner to cherish it!
