Everyday feels like the weekend in this incredible, original Craftsman retreat. Wake up and have your morning coffee on the deep wraparound front porch, as you take in the sun surrounded by beautifully landscaped, drought-tolerant native garden bursting with color and life. Stroll down to the beach for a morning walk with your toes in the sand, or head up to Retro Row for a little vintage shopping and lunch at one of the neighborhood's great restaurants. Come afternoon, a sunlit reading nook just off the dining room offers the perfect spot to curl up with a good book and enjoy the peace of your surroundings. Or fire up the grill and gather with friends, there's plenty of room for everyone! As afternoon becomes evening, relax around the fire pit, surrounded by lush greenery. Built in 1915 and incredibly well cared for, this Craftsman jewel is believed to be a Sears Catalogue home, rich with period details and updated with modern systems for effortless living. The main residence offers three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, a gorgeous light-filled living room, and a formal dining room adorned with stunning original woodwork, built-ins, light fixtures, and a rare Batchelder fireplace that serves as the home's centerpiece. The wraparound porch invites indoor-outdoor living, while the mature landscaping ensures privacy and tranquility year-round. A newly constructed, fully permitted ADU suite sits above the oversized two-car garage -- ideal as a guest retreat, home office, or rental income. The large gated driveway provides space for two additional cars, a rare find in this coveted, walkable neighborhood. This home is truly the best of both worlds: timeless character, thoughtful updates, and a lifestyle that's equal parts laid-back and vibrant.
