Loads of updates and amenities, make this 1944 lovingly remodeled craftsman on historic Washington Boulevard an absolute joy to experience. Three bedrooms, two full baths, one of which is a veritable spa with deep soaking jetted tub, family-sized tiled rain shower and wood sauna. Travertine stone, granite countertops, dark Brazilian hardwoods. Bonus sunroom and storage room. An enclosed courtyard covered by a pergola opens with a massive remote controlled screen into a magical, cozy well-landscaped seasonal display of flowers and greenery. Overlooking this retreat of a secret garden is the privately commissioned wall-size mural, Serendipity by the renowned John Michener, the very same artist whose multi-story Redwood Hotel mural is a local treasure and just a short walk from the home. The third bedroom currently doubles as a piano room and office with floor-to-ceiling and well-crafted shelves and drawers. An automatic sprinkler system that also keeps the small grass lawns front and back easy and green. Two sets of French doors face each other across a large enclosed courtyard from the office and the master suite. Showings by appointment to realtors and pre-qualified or cash buyers. Occasionally, I placed part of the home on Airbnb as a licensed short-term rental. Visiting doctors paid up to $4200 a month for use of just half the home that didn’t even include the locked off east wing (as I call it) which includes a large walk-in closet, fridge and the master with en-suite bathroom. Large storage room that could be converted into mini-gym. Garage. Home was listed with a realtor one year ago but owner had to reject a generous offer to purchase due to two broken wrists (a klutzy fall) which made quickly moving all of my things out of the house impossible. Home will be shown by appt only to prequalified buyers with or without their realtors. No contract offers. I’m a retired lawyer. I have successfully sold other homes of mine without a realtor. Retirement in Europe beckons so I have to now let this gem go. Five minute walk to public pickle ball courts make me regret having to sell even more. This street has the best decorations and history. The first year I got fourteen-hundred trick or treaters. Christmas is also a delight on Washington Boulevard. It’s a picturesque leafy walk to the historic part of downtown. Porchfest 2023 just happened in June. My neighbors are all great and very quiet.
