Curb appeal exudes from the outside and charm permeates throughout the inside of this Bixby Terrace home. Built in 1946, yet recently remodeled & updated throughout, this home is ideal for the most discerning of buyers. Entering through the front door, one is easily enamored as the living room, dining room and kitchen all showcase the open floor plan concept so desired by the modern buyer. The original hardwood floors glisten in the three bedrooms, the living room, the dining room and the hallway. A focal point of the living room is the brick, wood and gas burning fireplace. The chef's kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinets and a sit-in bar area which opens to the living room. The dining area allows for entertaining large groups and also opens up to the back yard ideal for indoor/outdoor living so desirable in Southern California. All three bedrooms have combination light/ceiling fans and plantation shutters on the windows; two of the three bedrooms have mirrored closets. The large master suite at the back of the home has an attached remodeled bathroom with double sinks, a tile floor and a shower with a granite bench seat. The second bathroom off the hallway also has tile flooring, a double sink vanity and a full shower/tub combination. A barn door off the hallway hides one of the two possible locations for washer and dryer hookups. Additionally there is a finished shed in the back yard where the current owners have set up a separate laundry room. Ideal for entertaining, the back yard has two distinct patio areas for dining alfresco and a grassy area along with fruit trees and succulent landscaping. Other valuable upgrades in the home include new Milgard double pane windows, a new central HVAC system, new plumbing and an updated sprinkler system with a new timer. The extra deep garage off the back alley fits two cars and has plenty of extra room for storage. Ideally set in close proximity to all the Bixby Knolls restaurants and shops, this property is ready for the new owner to move right in and call it their own.
