Years ago, this home was purchased from an award-winning master craftsman who devoted 25 years of heart and skill to restoring every surface to period perfection. Under its current stewardship, the home has been thoughtfully enhanced to bring in more light, warmth, and livability, blending modern comfort w/ its vintage charm. Walls are dressed in classic Bradbury papers, ceilings glow w/ period lighting, and the tilework is handmade - buttery soft. There are built-ins for your collections, heated ceramic floors, and the front porch swing comfortably holds two beverages— with a hammock around the corner. From the kitchen sink, you can see the tops of century old trees, and just beyond the tall oak doors you’ll find herbs & fruit trees: fig, apple & pear along with blueberries for the dog. Upstairs on the second level are three bedrooms, including a lovely primary ensuite. Continue up and you’ll discover a fourth-floor retreat — a dreamy bedroom or den wrapped in cedar beadboard paneling and lit by skylights. And there’s more. Just off the kitchen, a staircase leads to the lower level, where a private guest suite with its own west-side entrance offers ideal separation. This level also provides flexible, functional space for everyday life, including a dedicated laundry room, storage room, and workout area. Have a few bikes to store? The carriage doors at the front driveway open to a tuck-away space for tools, bikes, etc...This home is filled with high-end upgrades and quality finishes from top to bottom. Set in the vibrant SE Buckman neighborhood, near parks, food carts, and coffee shops, it’s a haven for walkers, cyclists, and commuters alike — close to downtown, yet rooted in the heart of a tight-knit community of old-house lovers.
