    What's special

    Welcome to 5501 Zara Avenue, set up off the street on a corner lot, and framed by an impressive garden. This beautiful 1930s home has been completely renovated with the latest and greatest technologies and quality finishes. Gracious living room with fireplace, large windows, lovely sconces and built-in arched niche with shelves. The formal dining room has views to the spacious backyard. There is a bright chef's kitchen open to the family room with sliding glass doors to the sunny deck. Upstairs there are three spacious bedrooms and a luxurious full bathroom, complete with a sleek modern freestanding tub. The large, private lot includes multiple entertaining areas, raised beds, a level lawn, mature fruit and shade trees, and several 80-year old roses with blooms that astound. There is a separate office in the back with skylights, beautiful flooring, and amenities that do just about all the convincing you'll need to decide to work from home.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
