The main level features a gracious living room with original mantel, pocket doors, crown molding, and ceiling medallions, plus a dining room with elegant cherry built-ins and a pass-through to a truly luxurious galley kitchen. Cooks will appreciate the custom cherry cabinetry, granite counters, high-end appliances, and a separate bar with a copper sink. Upstairs, the second floor offers a generous primary suite with a private dressing room, California-style walk-in closets, and a spacious en-suite bath. The rear office and powder room can serve as a cozy guest room or den. The third-floor features two large bedrooms and a full bath with a tub/shower. The finished lower level includes a guest studio suite/ family room with built-ins, a second full kitchen (perfect for larger-scale culinary adventures) a full bath, utility and storage rooms, and walk-out access to the charming, fenced backyard and sunken brick patio—an ideal setting for dining or enjoying the perennial garden.
