Agent Remarks: This 1906 Michigan Park Craftsman combines old-world charm and state-of-the-art modern materials to create the perfect place to call home in 2023. In a neighborhood full of ranch style homes, this beautiful arts & crafts-style home stands out. The curb appeal includes a lush lawn, stone columns, a portico and a welcoming front porch. Every square inch of the interior has been thoughtfully rearranged and renovated, from the plumbing/sewer/electrical, to the energy-efficient windows, LVP floors. Inside the front door, you’ll find a modern open floor plan with a cozy brick fireplace, high ceilings, recessed lighting, built-in speakers and gorgeous fixtures. The chef’s kitchen features quartz countertops, Shaker cabinetry all the way to the ceiling and a 10-foot island with storage & seating for a crowd. Just steps away, there's the all-important laundry/mudroom, which leads to the amazing back porch & pergola. The rest of the landscaped backyard is fenced-in & low maintenance, since a new irrigation system was recently installed. The property also includes an oversized detached garage/workshop, which could potentially be converted into a future ADU or more living space. Back inside, the main level includes two bedrooms and a full bathroom, creating an ideal floor-plan for in-laws or other guests! Head upstairs to find the primary suite, complete with double closets, his&her vanities (plus a third makeup vanity) and a custom-tiled glass shower. The two guest bedrooms on this level share the hallway bathroom, which has all the same high-end materials found throughout the rest of the home. Don’t forget about the separate beverage bar in the living room, the new HVAC system and all the clever storage solutions. Sought-after Michigan Park is full of historic homes and zoned to top-ranked schools (2 within walking distance). You’ll be close to the park (picnic spots, a playground, sports fields, etc…), trailheads and all the shopping & dining in downtown Whittier. Hop on Whittier Blvd and the 605 in no time at all! ATTN: Seller may be willing to offer to contribute a credit towards buyers closing cost. Which can be used towards a permanent or temporary Buy-down of the rate.
