Property Description

This 1904 Victorian style home is a bright and shining gem. Behind a fence is a sunny, private courtyard anchored with Japanese maple, fig and apricot trees. Inside, the eat-in kitchen is the heart of this home. Designed in a cozy industrial style, it features a farmhouse sink, butcher block island, a handsome Wedgewood stove, vintage cabinetry and built-in shelves. The living room, like the whole house, has beautiful high ceilings, and large windows that look out to the courtyard. The three bedrooms each have a different feel: the front bedroom is roomy and bright, the back bedroom accesses an outside deck, and the primary suite has a private bathroom and views on the backyard. Another full bath is in the hallway. The enormous garage/basement is accessible from the front and back yards, and makes for a lovely indoor/outdoor flow. The sunny backyard feels like another room with a constructed bar for entertaining, herb and veggie beds, a warm fire pit, and twinkling cafe lights.
