Built in 1926 by noted architect William Raymond Yelland, this historic three-bedroom home is rich with character, thoughtful updates and a wonderfully distinctive sense of place. Beautiful wood paneling, a formal dining room and charming architectural details honor the home’s history, while updated lighting, air conditioning, solar panels and new stone kitchen countertops bring modern comfort and style. The flexible floor plan includes two and a half bathrooms and two especially inviting, suite-like retreats. The spacious main-level primary suite opens through French doors to the expansive backyard, while an upstairs bedroom features an enchanting private balcony overlooking the surrounding greenery. A third bedroom provides additional space for family, guests or a home office. Set on a remarkably deep lot, the outdoor spaces are just as special. The formal dining room opens directly to the yard, where a patio, raised vegetable and flower beds, fruit trees and a chicken coop create an idyllic setting for gardening, gathering and everyday enjoyment. A detached bonus space offers exciting potential for an office, studio or future ADU, while an attached garage provides convenient parking and storage. Historic, romantic and full of personality, this home continues to surprise and delight at every turn.
