For the first time in over two decades, this Buckman beauty could be yours! It sits on a quiet street, in a serene setting, yet mere blocks to the happenings on Belmont, Hawthorne and Colonel Summers Park. Every surface of this home has been touched with a sincere attention to detail and conscientious updates including salvaged wood window trim, period light fixtures, and energy and seismic retrofits to ensure comfort and safety for the long haul. The covered front porch sits high on the street and offers a cozy entrance to the arched french doors that greet you inside and open up to the bright living room and on to the parlor/sitting room with grand mantle and fireplace. A formal dining room centers the main floor, and leads to the down-to-the-studs remodeled kitchen with custom cabinetry, stainless appliances, granite slab counters, eating bars and picture windows out to private and lush backyard. A half bath and entrance out to the custom mahogany deck complete the back of the main floor. All 3 bedrooms are upstairs, where all new fir floors were laid. The fully remodeled bathroom upstairs was updated with tiled floors, tiled shower and separate clawfoot soaking tub. The primary bedroom is large and bright, with a walk-in closet and a stunning covered balcony with peek-a-boo views of downtown and arches that frame the garden box and neighborhood views. Bonus attic square footage is primed for finishing with tall peaks, subfloor plywood and the updated electrical and plumbing that continues through the house. The permitted basement remodel began by digging down a foot to increase the head height, and includes a completely re-built foundation, full bath, laundry room, murphy bed, and custom entrance to a magical catio, giving kitties their best life! The backyard oasis offers a shady respite with covered BBQ grill area, kayak/SUP storage, pesticide-free landscaping and a detached garage. The list of reasons this home is so special goes on and on!
