This home is truly the complete package. Where should we start? How about the beautiful curb appeal? The landscape is pristine, featuring extensive drought tolerant vegetation. The classic Craftsman columns, gabled rooflines and a big breezy front porch exude the essence of North Park living. Step inside and the Red Oak floors throughout will immediately catch your fancy. Your expectations will be rewarded with details such as crown molding throughout, a Butler?s pantry with wet bar, gas fireplace in the family room, a cute powder room and a beautiful downstairs bedroom that currently functions as an office and study. The kitchen is grand in scale with a modern open concept to family area, and features an abundance of food prep granite counters with custom KraftMaid cabinetry. Not to be missed is a walk-in storage pantry that any fan of gastronomy will wonder how they ever lived without. There is an abundance of light with plenty of windows and French doors facing South to the backyard. The stairwell is wide and open, and it too benefits from dramatic natural lighting. This home sets itself apart from other Craftsmen by its modern sensibilities. Since it was built more recently than most of North Park?s other Craftsmen, the floorplan has been created to live a contemporary lifestyle. Upstairs features 3 wonderful bedrooms, all sporting plantation shutters and coalescing around a central foyer. The windows are dramatic in each room, with the views out each being unique and expansive. However, the true magic is in the primary suite. It is grand in scale and sports a wonderful southern and eastern view terrace that can keep you captivated. The bath features a separate water closet, soaking tub, spacious walk-in shower with seating, and all complete with granite and travertine finishes. The wardrobe will have you organized in no time, as it?s spacious and there?s a place for everything. The pull-down stairs to unfinished attic space awaits your exploration. Time to stroll out to a dream backyard? Whether you want to soak under the stars in the bubbly spa, spend some hours in sun worship in the privacy of your space, or entertain large parties, this is the home for you. But keep exploring and you?ll continue to find surprise after surprise. Besides the plentiful off-street parking for RV/boat storage and garage space, a private Speakeasy awaits those fun nights with friends. Add to this a carefully curated fruit orchard of Valencia and Navel Oranges, Meyer and Eureka Lemons, Limes, grapefruits and Haas Avocados.. you may never want to leave your home again! Last, but certainly not least? an owned 15 panel solar installation will keep those utility bills in check! Note that tax records show year built as 1980 but, per Sellers, the home was torn down to one wall and rebuilt in 2005.
