What a find! A preserved classic traditional on a large parcel within the sought after Montecito Park neighborhood. The current stewards of this special home have loved living here for over 40 years and only hope the same for a very fortunate Buyer. The formal entry opens to the large formal living room with the original hardwood flooring, gorgeous multi-pane windows, and a beautiful fireplace with custom herringbone masonry showing off the master craftsman level of detail … in the details. Said formal entry opens to the formal dining room as well. The bright kitchen is original but suited for any family chef of today with custom cabinetry, light stone counters, and windows overlooking the large front grounds and gardens. The central hall leads to three of the four large bedrooms and a tastefully updated full bath. The fourth bedroom is in the north wing with the second bath that has been updated as well. The rear covered patio is a wonderful space for outdoor entertaining under the shade of a tall mature elm. The rear yard is generous with a flat lawn play area, garden, extended wood patio, and a bonus home office/guest room off the back of the two-car detached garage. There is also, of course, the award-winning schools that serve this wonderful neighborhood.
