A beautiful three-bedroom/two-bath Arts and Crafts home located on a unique dead-end street but adjacent to lively restaurants, local shops, and various services. This home is also steps away from historic Summit Avenue and the many opportunities to enjoy the beautiful architecture and nature that abound.
This lovingly cared for home features stunning natural woodwork and hardwood floors. The main floor consists of a formal living room and dining room, a four-season sunroom, a bedroom currently used as a den, a full bathroom, and an amazing kitchen. The kitchen has custom cabinets, a built-in dinette, and solid surface counters.. The second level features a primary bedroom suite with a 3/4 bathroom. The 3rd bedroom includes a large walk-in closet and a study nook with a skylight.
The oversized lot is a lush garden paradise—with carefully tended blooming annuals and hardy perennials framing the landscape. It also includes an abundant selection of berry bushes, an apple tree, and much more! (See supplements for more info.)
