Step through the spacious foyer into a welcoming living room anchored by an elegant fireplace. The flexible floor plan flows effortlessly into a sun-drenched dining area and an open-concept kitchen. Featuring a large center island, gas range, and abundant cabinet space, the kitchen’s thoughtful layout makes everyday living a joy while offering an easy canvas for future bespoke upgrades. A glass-doored pantry provides extra storage space. A bright, dedicated study sits tucked away at the rear, with built-in bookcases, a desk and elegant glass doors that lead directly to a massive rear deck. The flow is effortless, delivering the ultimate indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A convenient half bath completes the main level. Upstairs, original and beautifully maintained oak hardwood floors stretch across all three bright bedrooms. The well-proportioned primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring a skylight and plenty of storage, including a cedar closet and two custom California Closets build-outs. There is an upgraded en-suite bath, new vanity and a sleek frameless glass shower with floor-to-ceiling carrara marble. The hall bath provides a soaking tub and original blue tile that would be fun to keep or easy to upgrade. Two additional rear bedrooms, one larger than the other, offer peaceful views of the back and side yards.

The lower level provides a sprawling, partially finished footprint with good ceiling height, built-in shelving, a storage room, laundry, modern HVAC, and an existing half bath. A dedicated side entrance makes future finishing incredibly convenient, allowing you to easily build equity and expand your living space over time. Outside, the property feels like a private oasis, surrounded by mature landscaping and beautiful native plants. There is a slate walkway that meanders through the garden to the rear slate patio and alley access. A very large, detached two-car garage with a remote-operated door sits at the rear, providing secure parking for your fine automobiles and daily drivers alike. Or, with parking on the street as easy as it is, use the garage for additional storage or as a gym. Located just a block from the premier dining, retail, and transit of Tenleytown (red line metro Tenleytown/AU Station), this location is as convenient as it gets.
