Updated from stem to stern in recent years, this grand Craftsman home is ready for you to start living! There are almost too many upgrades to mention. Just in the chef's kitchen: a KitchenAid double oven, huge 'appliance garage,' Harmony cabinets, subway tiling, sliding barn door for the walk-in pantry, and modern LED lighting. The rest of the house is an elegant blend of original built-in details with modern convenience, and designer paint colors throughout. The formal dining room is ready for big dinner parties, and offers tasteful glass-front cabinets. (There's a home office or den just behind it when you need to get away.) The fireplace in the spacious living room has built-in seating on each side. Four bright bedrooms are upstairs, including walk-in closets. Both bathrooms were updated in 2020. A private fenced yard with extensive drought-resistant landscaping provides a shady retreat and spot for al-fresco dining or drinks. The full-footprint basement plus the attached garage rounds out this classic home.
