Set on approximately a third of an acre, this beautifully maintained home blends original character with thoughtful updates and exceptional indoor and outdoor living space. Original refinished hardwood floors, that run throughout much of the home, fully renovated kitchen and baths and a modern paint palette, make this home move-in ready. Walking through the leaded glass front door, an alcove foyer connects you to the oversized living room and a light-filled sunroom provides another inviting space to relax, work or entertain. A separate formal dining room connects to an additional sitting room that offers the perfect opportunity for a butler’s pantry, serving space or flexible bonus area. The kitchen provides generous workspace and custom cabinets for storage. The primary suite features two walk in closets, a private en-suite bath, with marble flooring, custom cabinets and granite counters. The additional two bedrooms are spacious, and the beautifully updated hall bath includes custom cabinets and a tiled, walk-in shower. Outside, the large privacy-fenced backyard has been beautifully landscaped and features mature fruit trees, a lighted pergola and plenty of room to enjoy the expansive lot. An extended driveway, additional concrete parking area, electric vehicle charger and one-car garage with automatic opener provide ample parking and convenience. A detached approximately 300 sq ft guest cottage with a full bath—ideal for guests, a private office, studio or additional flex space. With its spacious lot, charming original details, updated interiors and flexible guest cottage, this home offers a combination of character, functionality and space. Termite bond, with Arrow.
