Property Description
This rare, meticulously updated Arts and Crafts bungalow presents a spacious, delightful retreat perfectly tailored for modern living. Boasting a highly desirable layout, the home features three bedrooms on the upper level and a convenient side entrance to the basement that offers excellent potential for a separate living space. The main floor welcomes you with a sun-drenched seating area in the living room that flows seamlessly into the main living space, complete with classic built-in bookcases and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. This impressive level also includes a formal dining room, two generously sized bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a recently renovated eat-in kitchen that looks out over the private deck. Upstairs, the three-bedroom layout includes spacious rooms and a second full bath, while also offering the flexibility to add another upstairs bathroom if desired. Below, the versatile basement features a family room, a laundry room, a workout space, a workshop, and extensive extra storage. Set on an extra-wide lot, the property serves as a true outdoor oasis featuring a lush backyard, an installed irrigation system, a relaxing deck, and a side patio perfect for hosting al fresco dining. The wonderful location sits just a few blocks west of Warren Park and the Robert Black golf course, offering easy access to public transit, shopping, and local dining, and is located less than a mile from the North Branch bike trail. Additional highlights include dual-zoned mechanicals-featuring boiler heat on the main level alongside a second-floor furnace equipped with brand-new central AC (that services the entire home)-and an architectural shingle roof that is approximately 7 years old. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity!
