Set on an extra-large lot just down the hill from Havens Elementary School, this handsome mid-century 2++ bedroom, 2 bathroom home features the architectural charms of its era: an airy, open floor plan and fine flow to its large, artfully landscaped back yard. Like the landscape, the spacious living room provides ample spaces for entertaining, relaxing, music and games; the lanai-like dining room leads through wide doors to the generous rear deck and garden, as does the big, bright, updated kitchen. The main floor bedroom and hall bathroom offer convenient, one-level adult living, while a staircase from the office/multi-purpose room behind the kitchen leads through a series of finished lower level bonus spaces to the second bathroom and bedroom with glass doors to the yard. The child who for the past nine years lived and played and made art in these downstairs rooms has now gone off to college, giving new owners the chance to make these fun and versatile spaces their own.
