Finally, a home that takes your breath away! Impressive stone taper columns & broad windows beckon you in. First impressions are everything and this Craftsman bungalow exudes historic charm & warmth from the first step over the threshold. With modern renovations that remedy the worries of owning a historic home, this one is ready for you. True to Arts & Crafts era, all the earmarks are intact. Abundant windows, high quality natural wood floors, trims, built-ins, doors & woodwork, a limestone fireplace, taper columns, open floor plans that flow one room into another, exposed beams & soothing natural tones. The living room has a grand limestone, gas fireplace & a wall of built-in shelves. It flows to the dining room that is a sight to behold. Taper columns & glass doored built-ins create a notable divider to be admired from both rooms. Look up to see the coffered ceilings with the richest wood punctuated by a wall of windows & built-in bench. The lovely sunroom with vaulted ceiling provides a great sun filled office or creative space that overlooks the fenced backyard & pergola. Entering the kitchen, the flavors of the past blend with the desires of the present with clean lines & textures. Bright & airy with solid surface counters and a striking Wolf stainless gas range the kitchen is ready for the most seasoned chef. An east facing wall of windows allows for a perfect frame for a morning sunrise with your breakfast. The upper level calls you to bed via a gorgeous wood staircase that is topped by an open landing. The Craftsman's goal of bringing nature in doesn't end here. In the primary bedroom suite vaulted ceilings & beams allow as much light to flood the space as possible. The primary bath is a large home spa. Walk-in tiled shower, soaker tub, milk glass sconces & double pedestal sinks are a luxury! Two deep closets create plenty of room to keep the space organized. The second large bedroom also has a vaulted ceiling & beams. Another modern bath with tile & tub/shower gives everyone privacy. A third upper level room could be a cute nursery or den. The space keeps going when you check out the basement. It includes a laundry space, crafting tool bench, a rec room/wine tasting grotto & dedicated home gym! This home is precious, unique & updated.
