A living room that expands from the front to rear exterior walls of the house is your point of entry and the dining room which features crown molding and chair rail is to the right. An addition completed by a prior owner allows for an expanded kitchen along with the creation of a bonus room and full bathroom also on the first floor. Frequently, a traditional Bungalow will lack that ''one-extra-room'' needed for today's home/work environment but not this one! There's even a large closet that may be used for small appliances, extra kitchen items or an out-of-sight file cabinet should you choose to go the office route. The kitchen is functional, spacious and upgraded to meet the needs of multiple chefs in the space at once. White 42" wall cabinets, a 36" pantry, Bosch dishwasher, GE Smart Slide-In Induction range, concrete countertops, and glass tile backsplash all lead to a complete cooking experience. The upstairs may be accessed from the left or right side of the first level thanks to a stairway with two entry points and central landing. Upstairs are three bedrooms, each with deep closets, and a traditional 2-room bathroom typical of the 1920's. The marble floor has a vintage feel and subway tile along with the original medicine cabinet respect the integrity of the period of construction. In a location where street parking is the norm and often begrudgingly accepted, this jewel offers a driveway plus a generously-sized (22x24) poured concrete pad in the rear. Even a student driver could reasonably park and get turned around without issue. You'll also be excited to find an L-shaped family room in the basement. This is not your typical 100-year old home lower level. A stairway with a turn ensures comfortable clearance. You will also find a drywall ceiling, recessed lighting, three large windows and plush carpet. The rear yard offers a central walkway from parking and a large deck with curved copper railing. You will not want to miss out on this very special property!
