About this House

This exquisite three bedroom, two bath, 1915 square foot 1914 Craftsman Bungalow, with a den or office, has been lovingly remodeled and restored throughout.

From there you enter the central, formal dining room that has dark wood molding and tall French doors which let the light flood in. This adjoins the sun-lit, impeccably renovated kitchen, with stainless steel appliances, gleaming white cabinetry, an oversized Shaw farmhouse sink and stunning quartzite counters. There are three spacious bedrooms with two bathrooms that have been tastefully updated while remaining in keeping with the architecture of this highly desirable style.

The expansive rear yard offers spaces for celebrating with friends or for quiet dinners under the stars. The 9,698 square foot lot, with a verdant lawn, a raised vegetable garden, numerous seating areas and an abundance of fruit trees is a pleasure to behold. The residence offers picture-perfect curb appeal and is located in the celebrated Bungalow Heaven Historic district which has been cited as one of the best neighborhoods in America.
