Property Description
Exceptional Longfellow area residence blending timeless Craftsman character with seamless indoor-outdoor living. This spacious 2-bedroom home offers over 1,240 sq ft of beautifully preserved detail, including ebony inlay hardwood floors, classic wainscoting, cove ceilings, custom built-in cabinetry, stained glass accents, and period light fixtures. The living and dining areas are anchored by a charming fireplace with a solid mantel and mirror above, creating an inviting, warm focal point. The kitchen flows naturally from the dining room into a bright rear flexible space, where French doors open onto a spacious deck—creating an easy transition to outdoor living and the private backyard beyond. The kitchen and bedrooms are filled with abundant natural afternoon light, enhancing the home’s warm and inviting atmosphere. Both bedrooms are generously sized and feature rare walk-in closets, while the bathroom showcases a vintage enamel claw foot soaking tub and a roomy built-in medicine chest, rich in character. Additional highlights include low maintenance landscaping, an attached garage and a versatile half basement offering abundant storage or potential for expansion, workspace, or creative use. The home is constructed from oldgrowth redwood, prized for its durability.
