This beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated 1918 bungalow offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, PLUS a detached 350 sq ft studio, seamlessly blending historic character with modern comfort. Inside, refinished original oak floors, a wood-burning fireplace, restored original windows, glass doorknobs, and classic Craftsman trim throughout fill the home with warmth, charm, and natural light. The beautifully updated kitchen features quartzite countertops and stainless steel GE Cafe appliances, while both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated, with all major updates completed in 2020. The primary suite showcases volume ceilings, dual closets with custom curtains, and a stunning clawfoot tub that pays homage to the home’s historic soul.

Major system upgrades and thoughtful improvements provide peace of mind, including a 2012 metal roof, tankless gas water heater (2020), updated interior plumbing, whole-house water softening system and reverse osmosis, full front and back irrigation, and a transferable drywood termite warranty. The HVAC system features a 2020 exterior condenser and a 2012 interior air handler.

The renovated detached 350 sq ft studio features concrete floors, updated windows, its own wall-unit HVAC, and includes the washer and dryer along with a tankless electric water heater, making it ideal as a home office, creative studio, fitness space, or guest retreat.
