Agent Remarks: It’s finally on the market – the gorgeous, well-loved Spanish style Craftsman bungalow on iconic Magnolia Street! A beautifully landscaped front yard with stately pines on either side highlight the symmetry of the home. The home boasts original hardwood floors, built-in bookcases and a built China cabinet, but isn’t that what you should expect from a Craftsman? Yet, you have no idea what awaits, rare and prized – the envy of other Craftsman’s (and the obvious reason it is the center piece of the welcoming living room): A genuine Batchelder fireplace! The intricate design of the perfectly preserved tiles is truly art – craftsmanship at its finest, and reason in itself to see the home! Incredibly, there is even more…so much more. On either side of the fireplace are the bookshelves; to left the expansive built-in China cabinet greets you with window seats on either side, and large doors to separate the living room from the dining room - eye-catching and so completely unique! From the dining room, you look into the kitchen to find a newly re-modeled, up-to-date open concept kitchen. The kitchen projects a bright and cheery disposition and ties in nicely with the Spanish aspect of the bungalow. (The original cabinet doors from the butler’s pantry were re-used). The Spanish/Mexican theme adds a fun twist and complements the originality of the home. The flow of the house itself is unique: it is circular because of the symmetry of the home and the fact that the fireplace is the centerpiece. There are also more than twenty windows which surround the house to let in natural light! All of the homes on the Wood Streets are special and unique, but this one is truly different. As you look out of your kitchen window you see the beautiful Victorian home and foliage across the way (rather than a neighbor’s fence). The roses outside of the bedrooms are only a small addition, as are three fruit trees. As Woods Streets homes often have, there is a separate laundry/ mud room. It’s the most original Craftsman bungalow home you’ve always wanted! While all of the homes in the Wood Streets are special and unique, this one is truly different. If three bedrooms and 1 and 3/4 bath is not enough, there is an additional free- standing office/workout room or whatever you wish, as well!! Come and take a look before the opportunity is gone!
