This Maple Leaf darling sparkles inside and out! New roof & gutters, hardwood floors + fresh interior and exterior paint. Rare one-level living with a primary ensuite bedroom & walk-in closet. True dining room off the kitchen that flows out to a charming backyard w/brick patio - fully fenced for critters of your choice to roam free! Sited on a sweet, quiet street yet only a few short blocks to neighborhood bakeries, coffee shops, parks and restaurants - Macrina, Cafe Javasti, Mojito & Kona Kitchen to name a few. Lovely Maple Leaf Reservoir Park is a short ramble away plus a convenient commute in any direction with close (but not too close!) freeway access. This little beauty lives larger than it looks + 1-car garage for your gear or car.
