Property Description

Inviting 1929 storybook Craftsman 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has original oak and fir floors, built in cabinets, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace with its original mantel. 1564 finished sq feet is updated for today's lifestyle with solar panels and an EV charger (2025), electrical upgrades, triple- and double-pane windows, new exterior paint (2025), and a new furnace (2026). This home combines charm with energy-conscious improvements that help a buyer save money and live more lightly on the planet. Spacious kitchen features abundant cabinetry and room to gather, while the versatile floor plan allows for comfortable main-level living if desired. Upstairs, large rooms w/wood floors and plenty of closets share the 2nd floor full bath, added in 2014. Generous storage throughout the home. An unfinished 664-square-foot basement with new insulation offers exceptional storage and future potential. Separate entry on the streetside bedroom provides for versatility regarding a potential home occupation or second occupant. Mature landscaping includes a rare and thriving Sourwood tree, and the backyard feels like a true haven from the rest of the world. A detached garage provides convenient dual access from both the front driveway and alley. Ideally located on the bus line, this distinctive stucco home is rich in character, practical upgrades, and enduring appeal. Home has been pre-inspected.
