Nestled under the swaying elms and delightful birdsong; this updated 1.5-storey home blends old world charm, comfort, and modern taste in all the right ways. A generous foyer where the morning sunbeams sparkle in, hardwood sprawls throughout the open concept main floor, and the swaying branches make the light dance through every window. Custom built-ins in the living room, and hardwood floors. An oversized dining area with a bay window next to the kitchen; upgrades like granite countertops, modern cabinetry, island with butcher block countertop, and chef-style pot rack. The kitchen and dining room were gutted in 2016—new insulation, cabinets, window, flooring, and lighting. The main floor bedrooms were rebuilt in 2007 with 6” deep insulated walls, new windows, ceiling fans, pot lights, one with lovely bay window, transom-topped French doors, a walk-in closet, and California Closet organizers. The main floor bathroom was completely redone in 2016 with luxury tile, Grohe fixtures, vessel sink, and glass shower. The loft-style second floor (rejuvenated 2015–16) with added insulation, new subfloor, new flooring (2020), a wall of south-facing windows, new lighting, and a walk-in with custom closet system (2020). Used as a bedroom/lounge area, but endless functions would suit the space: think kids play room, yoga/meditation room, or artists loft. The basement (2012) includes new insulated walls, pot lights, new flooring (2024), paint and a storage room/den. Outside: enjoy a private deck, raised garden beds, peonies, lilies, irises, cherry bush, grapevine, gas BBQ hookup, a single detached garage and no overhead wires—they’ve all been buried. Other upgrades include newer washer, dryer, dishwasher (2024), shingles (2014) with heat pads/wires on roof, exterior paint (2024) updated electrical, plumbing, city water/sewer lines (~2012) & added back flow valve. Steps to parks, schools, five blocks to the river, and dangerously close to City Perks Café… Latte, anyone?
