    Situated on tree-lined Garfield Avenue, this charming Craftsman bungalow seamlessly pairs historic soul with thoughtful modern upgrades. Original architectural details throughout, hardwood oak and Douglas fir floors, crown and picture rail moulding and gorgeous built in cabinetry. As you enter the living area a cozy built-in window seat and prominent tile fireplace (decorative) create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The layout flows from the living room to dining area to a hallway connecting two comfortable bedrooms and a classically remodeled full bathroom. At the heart of the home a bright and airy kitchen awaits, custom stained-glass cabinetry, Viking chef's stove, stainless steel appliances and a dedicated laundry area. Step out onto the deck to enjoy the lush, expansive backyard and mountain view. An idyllic retreat for al fresco dining, entertaining guests in several seating areas or tending to the raised garden beds. Take in the fragrance of blooming jasmine and roses, while Meyer lemon, Key lime, Black Mission fig, and pomegranate trees offer an abundant harvest of fresh fruit. The property is further enhanced by a versatile finished garage/bonus space, complete with its own 3/4 bathroom, kitchenette with mini fridge and wine fridge, perfect for a creative studio space or home office. This 103 year old home has so much charm, character and modern comfort to offer its new stewards.
