Step into the opportunity of a lifetime with this stunning home in the sought-after westside hills neighborhood. The journey begins at the stunning and spacious front porch via an eye-catching blue door, leading you in to the home's spacious entry foyer.
Originally built in 1905, this home has been gracefully expanded by its current owners, preserving its historic charm while adding modern touches. The main house boasts three bedrooms, with two retaining their early 20th-century allure separated between a contemporary updated jack and jill bathroom. A former porch has been reimagined as a sunny third bedroom or home office off the original living room.
The living room has been transformed into a music room, exuding warmth and character. The kitchen, a labor of love by the current owner, features handcrafted cabinetry and both butcher block and tiled countertops with an eat-at bar, perfect for casual meals and homework time.
The extension includes a spacious great room, ideal for large family gatherings, with easy access to the garage, rear deck, and porch. A craft room/ laundry area off the great family space. The home offers flexibility for customization to suit your lifestyle.
The solar panels are owned reducing the owners' utility bills significantly. The windows in the home are also dual pane.
For added convenience and extra storage, the home features attic storage accessible via a drop-down ladder, spanning the entire size of the great room. Additionally, there are two sheds on the property that will be included with the sale.
With endless possibilities for reconfiguration, this home is ready for a new family to make it their own. Don't miss out on the chance to create your dream living space in this unique property. Did I mention that there is space in the yard to add an ADU?
