Stately homes line the block leading to this sun-filled, reimagined Craftsman—ideally situated on one of Grand Lake’s most beloved residential streets. Set behind lush, meandering front gardens, the property offers privacy, presence, and seamless access to vibrant shops, cafés, and a locals favorite Saturday farmers market. Inside, an open, airy layout connects the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, all framed by natural light and green outlooks. Thoughtful updates include wide-plank wood flooring, a modernized kitchen, and beautifully renovated bathrooms. Systematically the home is in top shape with updated electrical, plumbing, foundation, and beyond. The main residence offers five well-proportioned bedrooms and two and a half baths. A finished attic provides flexible, carpeted bonus space, while an additional main-level alcove creates the perfect zone for a Peloton, reading lounge, or storage. Terraced gardens unfold just beyond sliding doors— an inviting oasis with multiple outdoor living areas and mature landscaping. Below, a separate entry unit with full kitchen and bath presents valuable flexibility for guests, extended family, or income potential. A one-car garage at street level completes the offering. Don’t miss this rare blend of scale, style, and location.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
