A very special 3 bed, 2 bath POOL HOME on an incredible Corner Lot. This desirable example of Shingle Style Craftsman architecture circa 1910, sits on a 6,000' corner lot that affords excellent privacy. A handsome dwelling, with its side gable roof, front facing shed dormer, exposed rafter tails, a multitude of vintage windows, and clinker brick around the base. This could be your Storybook Cottage forever home! The way this home is sited on the lot with its southern exposure allows beautiful natural light to flow through the banks of wood windows into the open floorplan of the main floor interior. Clinker brick adorns the home, including the entry and the stunning fireplace. A century ago, these bricks were chosen by top Craftsmen architects for their distinctive qualities, including unique shapes and dark, rich color. They're denser and heavier than regular bricks. Enjoy multiple private outdoor spaces here, including the much newer backyard swimming pool with its motorized pool cover. There's a peaceful oasis off the kitchen on the backyard sun deck with plenty of room for lounging, entertaining and even poolside grilling on the built-in BBQ. Large main floor primary suite features a newer remodeled bathroom, walk in closet, and French doors leading to the backyard. The 2 car garage and generous driveway allow for easy coming and going, with off street parking of 4+ vehicles. While this unique property retains its vintage character and charm, it has recently added solar panels, central air conditioning (2017), and a tankless water heater for modern living. Walk Score rates this location a 90 - "a walkers paradise!" Shingle Style has been described as the first modern American house style. Architects cherish its grand informality. Vincent Scully called it, “the architecture of the American summer". Please note: some cosmetic TLC needed and priced accordingly. Bring your vision, mend the fence, tame the yard, plant your garden, and make this Storybook Cottage your forever home.
