Upon entering this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home, gorgeous natural light floods the living and dining areas through large windows. The kitchen is a standout, with a vintage stove, Carrera marble counters, and a striking live edge Bubinga wood island. Elegant archways frame each room, adding beautiful character and a timeless feel. Both bedrooms are generous in size, including the primary suite with an attached spa-like bathroom featuring PentalQuartz framing a stunning bathtub, complemented by Italian porcelain flooring. French doors connect the primary suite to the private backyard retreat, complete with a built-in hot tub, fire pit, Japanese shishi odoshi water fountain, and deck perfect for unwinding. The converted garage, affectionately dubbed "Club 209" by the sellers, was the ultimate gathering spot for their family and friends. With wood paneling, vaulted wood ceilings, skylights, a gas stove/fireplace, and a built-in bar, it's designed for entertaining. Sliding glass doors open to a stone patio with a built-in barbecue, perfect for summer dinner parties. The home also features a speaker system for seamless entertainment and a thoughtful layout that provides easy access from the kitchen to the outdoor entertaining areas.
