This classic wood-shingled Craftsman is an architectural jewel box. Its enchanting curb appeal sets the stage for a storybook living experience. The light-filled living room is a showcase of craftsmanship, where double-hung windows and gleaming hardwood floors with intricate borders highlight the home’s character. A graceful arched entry leads to an airy sitting nook, the perfect retreat for remote work. The shared bath blends vintage charm with a modern edge, featuring a classic clawfoot tub paired with bold wallpaper for a playful yet refined contrast. Two generously sized, sunlit bedrooms sit at opposite ends of the home, offering both privacy and comfort. The eat-in kitchen is distinctive and functional, crowned by a striking skylight that illuminates its unique copper countertops. Designed for connection, it opens to a private deck, with stairs leading to the backyard—a lush retreat for gatherings, gardening, and play. A bounty of fruit trees, from avocado and Meyer lemon to persimmon, peach, fig and more, brings a seasonal harvest to your doorstep. A detached garage adds an extra layer of potential—whether as a creative studio, gym, or future conversion. Tucked on a quiet street, this home offers the perfect balance of serenity and accessibility—minutes from essentials.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
