This home is a wonderful example of the perfect Arts & Crafts Bungalow. Enter through the enclosed and heated sun porch, open the stately front door, and immediately your eyes are drawn to the stunning original millwork that defines the Arts & Crafts style. Elegant built-ins and bookcases, inlaid wood floors, handsome columns, and a brick wood-burning fireplace highlight the living and family rooms. The formal dining room is well lit from a wall of windows and steps into an additional room that may serve as eat-in kitchen space or an additional entryway. This space steps out onto a spacious deck and makes for easy entertaining and dining al fresco and allows easy access to the gracious and peaceful back yard. The kitchen window looks out onto an enjoyable view of the deck and yard, and makes it easy to greet arriving family or guests. The first floor offers two bedrooms and a hall bath, so that first floor living is an option. As you ascend to the second floor, the stairs are flooded with light blended from the many windows and a skylight. The second floor is a world unto itself and offers two more rooms and an additional full bathroom. The previous owner was a master carpenter and created a cathedral ceiling master bedroom adding additional exterior windows and even interior windows that bring light to the upper hall landing. The bathroom features an elegant claw foot tub and a classic sink and tile. Don't forget to find the hidden attic space located behind the hall door, as this space provides massive storage opportunities and can very easily be finished to create an additional bedroom or studio/office space. A large walk out basement and detached garage provide additional storage space. With a newer roof, and top of the line maintenance free Hardie Board siding, you can just walk right into this charming Bungalow and make it your own. Located on a tree lined street, in a quiet neighborhood known for it's architecture, this is a rare opportunity to call such a stunning house your home. Act quickly! 2018-08-27
