This adorable bungalow, in what some call the Westbrae neighborhood and others call the Gilman district, offers more than initially meets the eye. Past the lush front garden, enter a delightfully sunny and updated Craftsman bungalow with plentiful windows, refinished hardwood floors, a formal dining room and updated kitchen and bath. Countertops of composite quartz, sophisticated tile floors, stainless steel appliances, dual-pane windows and fresh paint inside and out, have polished this gem to perfection. Through the kitchen, or the French doors of the back bedroom, you'll find even more living space with a cottage (perfect for out-of-town guests), a private office, mature landscaping and lovely areas for play, dining and relaxation.
