Property Overview

The property consists of two new structures, the main home and garage with an apartment above, set on a 50'x 135' lot. All the utilities are new and underground. This includes the water service to the meter, sewer to the sidewalk, gas to the meter, and electrical to the transformer.

The front yard has an exceptionally old Crape Myrtle tree that creates a beautiful canopy of pink blossoms in the summer and a young Purple Birch has been planted nearby for an attractive compliment. A full-grown Walnut tree provides excellent shade on the side yard for those warmer summer days. A young standard Olive tree grows just outside the breakfast nook as a lovely backdrop.

The rear and side yards are fully enclosed with new cedar fencing and gates. There is a separate 9'x 36' fenced area next to the laundry room, which is perfect for dogs. A double gate opens from the alley to a parking area perfect for a trailer, boat, or vehicle. On the opposite side there is a private entrance to the apartment above the garage.

 

Main House

This new craftsman styled home blends perfectly with the historic neighborhood. Subtle yet strong earth tone colors accentuate a natural flow of the architecture. The sturdy concrete porch supports the large post and beam roof overhang, providing a comfortable conversation area during all seasons.

Opening the front door reveals an open plan with a great room, kitchen, and wet bar that are perfect for entertaining and everyday use. The lower level also has a breakfast nook, laundry room with storage area, a full bath, and an office area.

Wide and easy stairs lead to the two upper rooms. The airy and large master bedroom has a walk-in closet and a spacious bathroom featuring travertine flooring, a whirlpool tub, shower, and two sinks. The spacious second bedroom has a private bathroom, closet, and nook ideal for a children's play area or extra storage.
