Property Description

This classic wood-shingled Craftsman is an architectural jewel box. Its enchanting curb appeal sets the stage for a storybook living experience. The light-filled living room is a showcase of craftsmanship, where double-hung windows and gleaming hardwood floors with intricate borders highlight the home’s character. A graceful arched entry leads to an airy sitting nook, the perfect retreat for remote work. The shared bath blends vintage charm with a modern edge, featuring a classic clawfoot tub paired with bold wallpaper for a playful yet refined contrast. Two generously sized, sunlit bedrooms sit at opposite ends of the home, offering both privacy and comfort. The eat-in kitchen is distinctive and functional, crowned by a striking skylight that illuminates its unique copper countertops. Designed for connection, it opens to a private deck, with stairs leading to the backyard—a lush retreat for gatherings, gardening, and play. A bounty of fruit trees, from avocado and Meyer lemon to persimmon, peach, fig and more, brings a seasonal harvest to your doorstep. A detached garage adds an extra layer of potential—whether as a creative studio, gym, or future conversion. Tucked on a quiet street, this home offers the perfect balance of serenity and accessibility—minutes from essentials.
