Built in 1920, this Cape Cod style home offers the perfect blend of traditional character with modern amenities. A gently curved walkway with lush plantings leads you to a large covered front porch surrounded by a garden filled with rose bushes of many varieties. The freshly painted 'Hamilton Blue' front door is enhanced by the original transom window and side lights, while new, dual-paned diamond pattern windows surround the living and dining rooms. Curb appeal is further enhanced by matching dormers above the entrance. Hardwood floors, wide crown moldings and a decorative fireplace with custom mantle adorn the living room. The dining room can expand to accommodate your holiday guests and features matching built-in corner cabinets. The present owners designed and built an addition which enlarged the kitchen and added a family room downstairs, also adding a primary bedroom suite with two closets and luxurious bath above. The cook's kitchen now includes a large center island with butcher block counter, professional gas cooktop with griddle, a prep sink and ample storage. Other features include custom cabinetry, tile counters with marble backsplash, double ovens, stainless steel appliances and a large pantry. Friends and family will be sure to gather in the adjacent family room and breakfast nook, making sure you'll never have to cook alone! Currently used as a home office, the fourth bedroom is also located on the first level, with an adjoining vintage bathroom highlighted by turquoise and onyx tiles and a gorgeous floral tile mural over the tub. The primary suite offers a spacious bedroom with closet, bathroom with dual vanities, shower and soaking tub with bay window, plus an additional roomy closet. Two additional bedrooms, a three-quarter bath and laundry room complete the upstairs. Once outside, you'll be captivated by this magical setting which includes an open cabana with barbecue and kitchenette, koi pond and extended patio with newly installed outdoor fireplace, all covered by the canopy of a majestic oak. Urban farmers will appreciate this double sized lot with a very productive avocado tree, fruit trees and vegetable garden. And yes, of course, there's also a two-car garage plus two storage sheds to complete this special property.
