Built in 1900, this Bronze Coast Victorian features many untouched vintage details intact and ready to be showcased by the new owner. This is a wonderful opportunity to restore a beautiful piece of history. Walking up the front stairs you are greeted by a small sitting porch as well as an oversized front door with a glass window allowing you to peer in the foyer. Once inside, the foyer leads to the main parlor areas of the home. To the left is a perfect bedroom with a large window in an alcove with two side windows, just waiting for a large desk to be put in place facing out to the street. The closet in this room leads you through to the next bedroom, which you can also access from the hallway. This second bedroom was transformed into an additional kitchen area for the previous owners but is easily transformed back into a bedroom again. Beyond this bedroom is the guest bathroom in the hallway. This bathroom features a shower over bathtub and a vanity. A window in the bathroom allows for natural light to shine into the space. The master bedroom features a bathroom en suite with a shower over tub and vanity as well. The master bedroom ceiling has been dropped down and is waiting for the next owners to remove the dropped ceiling and restore it back to the high ceilings that were likely there originally. The space that once opened out to the backyard directly from the bedroom has been turned into a closet area that can easily be demolished back out for direct access to the yard from the master suite. The right side of the home begins with the opening from the foyer into the formal living room. The living room features high ceilings, picture rails, high baseboards, doug fir flooring under the carpeting, and large windows with divided lights at the top of the center picture window. The ceiling medallion is the centerpiece of the room and allows for a pendant light to hang down from it. A large encased opening with gorgeous pocket doors that have not been painted take you from the living room into the formal dining room. The focal point of the dining room is the fireplace with an untouched wood mantel and tiled hearth. All vintage details from the living room follow through into the dining room creating a wonderful flow into these spaces. Beyond the dining room is the kitchen. From a renovation standpoint, one could open up the wall between the dining room and the kitchen for an open floorplan concept that would carry all the way out to views of the backyard. For now, the kitchen consists of two areas. One large, open space with wainscoted walls and a built in pantry space. Beneath the linoleum flooring is very likely doug fir. Beyond this initial room is a small room that overlooks the backyard and features the stove and kitchen sink area. From the kitchen and master bedroom, you have access to the backyard as well as the staircase leading to the upper level of the home. Upstairs, you are greeted by a large family room area with a built in cabinet with glass doors and display shelving as well as drawers. There are also two fairly large closets within this space, perfect for storing arts and crafts or board games for playing upstairs. There is wonderful alcove within the room with a clerestory window above, perfect for a study space or office. From the family room, there is access to two bedrooms and a full bathroom. The bathroom features a shower over tub and a vanity. The two bedrooms are cozy with the ceiling angles adding to the architecture of the space. Windows from each of these bedrooms peer out over the neighboring homes from this tall Victorian.
