You'll love this storybook Dutch-style home with over-sized yard and quick access to neighborhood eateries and shopping. Surrounded by trees, and set back from the street, its walkaway leads to a classic front door archway and into a formal entry. Hardwood floors, wood burning fireplace, deep coat closet and light-filled staircase are the first architectural details to say 'hello'. Step into the kitchen with maple shaker cabinets, a discreet half bath, oak floors and light-filled sitting nook for morning tea. Downstairs access brings forth an area to hang your coat and store your shoes before you hit the den. Generous laundry room with room to fold clothes, extra storage and great ceiling height. Circle back upstairs for two bedrooms on the second floor plus full bath. Dreamy balcony, original hardware and dbl closets sing old-house charm. Think about the backyard dinners on the deck next to the maple trees that are filled with bird song you might have. Deciduous trees fill in to create a wall of greenery and privacy in the summertime. Make use of the convenient side door to the architecturally coordinated garage that was fully permitted and built in 2003. A garage that has radiant heat floors and room for 3+ cars. This space is already plumbed with a water line + sewer line (think of the possibilities that this main level space might provide). Head upstairs to the office with its multiple windows and wood floor. Perks: The main house roof was replaced in 2002 (40 year warranty), the HVAC system is AC-ready and the garage is fully insulated. Once you're back outside, enjoy walking this quaint neighborhood with its nearby parks (Wilshire is 2 blocks away) & its many flowering gardens. Quick access to happening spots and highly rated schools make this one a gem.
