This classic 1955 rambler—renovated in 1999—offers effortless single-level living with timeless style. The 3-bed, 2-bath layout includes bright spaces and a generous family room that opens directly to a covered patio for year-round use. Owned by a landscape designer, the grounds are truly exceptional: mature plantings, curated outdoor rooms, and four-season color that creates a peaceful, private setting. Inside and out, the home feels connected, calm, and beautifully maintained. Just moments to the light rail, parks, cafés, and daily conveniences, it delivers a rare blend of comfort, thoughtful design, and an unbeatable location.
