The Best of Both Worlds – Craftsman Home with Updates! This charming Craftsman bungalow was built in 1926 and has had numerous updates in keeping with the house’s character of yesteryear. This is the kind of place that feels like home even before you move your boxes in! From the canopy, tree-lined street, admire the new fencing, attractive bougainvillea, and covered porch. Step into the home’s open-floor plan to find traditional casement windows and molding, picture molding, eight-inch baseboards, four-inch window trim as well as crown and decorative trim molding. Other highly desired features include refinished hardware floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and custom cabinetry including a bookcase, a drop-down desk, and an attractive, wall-to-wall, built-in buffet in the large dining area. The charming kitchen is well lighted with numerous casement windows and a cozy breakfast nook. The laundry center is conveniently located off the kitchen area. There are two comfortable bedrooms as well as a completely remodeled master bathroom and guest bathroom, both of which have been upgraded with new toilets, vanities, and floors. The house includes fresh interior and exterior paint, copper plumbing to the street, new copper wires and upgraded electrical service. The roof is three years new with gutters and leaf guards. An all-new forced heating system was installed two years ago. One quarter of the cellar is a functional basement/wine cellar. The backyard is large with orange and lemon trees and is perfect for entertaining or for use as a children’s play area. The garage is spacious and holds up to four cars. The house is in the highly desired Shasta-Hanchett neighborhood of San Jose, blocks away from the historical San Jose Municipal Rose Garden, local schools, and library.
