This elevated brick craftswoman bungalow, set on a high lot of .13 acres, has undergone a meticulous and artistic renovation, creating a private oasis in the heart of a vibrant community.

The chef's kitchen, adorned with stainless steel appliances, a gas range, hood fan, ceramic farm sink, and granite countertops, also accommodates a work island and a sunlit dining nook. The light-filled living room boasts a meticulously maintained wood-burning fireplace that can easily be converted back to gas based on your preference. Custom brass lighting fixtures, pendants, hooks, sconces, and hardware complement the home. (LR chandelier does not convey).
