Delightful Craftsman home, meticulously maintained and perfectly polished. Constructed in 1912, it retains the charm of yesteryear with the modern conveniences of today. Posted up on a sizable corner lot, in the convenient Lower Laurel neighborhood, this lovely abode invites you right in from the moment you set your sights on the charming front porch. Cross the threshold and get excited about a well kept home interior with a truly comfortable layout, sunny light-filled rooms and charm beyond your wildest dreams. Inside & out: it welcomes you in, feels harmonious and home-y, and gives you space to live, breathe and kick off your shoes and invite some friends over to enjoy. Impeccable hardwood floors underfoot, built-in china cabinet bookcases and sitting nooks, coffered ceilings & chair rail are just some of the beloved details found in the quality construction that has lasted and stood the test of time for over 100 years. At the same time, a stunner of a Chef’s kitchen delights: white cabinetry, Quartz slab countertops, a butcher block island with pot rack, stainless appliances (including a gas stove) and subway backsplash put this kitchen on the map as the most popular hangout spot in this home. The kitchen opens nicely to the dining room, which flows intuitively into the living room. And…while the home technically says 2 bedrooms on public records, there is a 3rd room which can be (and is being currently) used as a bedroom as well. It can also make a cozy office or meditation room: lots of possibilities. Central heating & air conditioning means that even during this heat wave: you’re comfy. The garage lends itself well to having ADU potential- it is currently being used as an art studio: will you use it as a garage, office or as your own creative space? The well landscaped backyard is ideal for those with a green thumb, or aspiring to it. It feels private and is serene & green- just enough green to take care of, not enough to feel overwhelmed. Plant your Fall garden here and pick pumpkins by October. A large basement offers so much storage space- the current owners even use it as a gym! Location-wise, you are in luck: it is not far from I-580, so commuting’s a breeze, right near Farmer Joe’s Marketplace, Ghost Town Brewery, and a multitude of great coffee houses and restaurants, all within a few blocks!
