CONTEMPORARY CRAFTSMAN best describes this MUST-SEE early 1900's bungalow! This 3 bedroom plus a dedicated home office, underwent a FULL RENOVATION in 2016. The current owner was very involved in the construction process to ensure it maintained the character of the early 1900's while blending the modern conveniences of today into an open layout with high-end designer custom finishes and wood moldings. Walls were removed to create an open, casual living area in the great room and an open kitchen peninsula with seating and dining space for entertaining. The great room features a custom fireplace / entertainment center with gas insert, crown molding, cubby-hole cabinets under the stairs, and an adjacent new home office featuring 3-panel contemporary pocket doors, custom built-in desk, cabinets, and bookcase. The large gourmet kitchen features solid wood shaker-style cabinets, granite countertops, built-in wine cooler, Thermador gas range and dishwasher, farmhouse stainless sink and Kitchenaid stainless refrigerator. An adjacent walk-in laundry with pantry and powder bath complete the space. The upstairs area features a Master suite with an ensuite bath with separate tub and shower and a new walk-in closet, two additional bedrooms and a full guest bath with a large walk-in shower. Throughout, this home is replete with newer insulated windows with all wood plantation shutters, all new trim, 7' baseboards, and solid wood doors in the original 1900 style, new oak flooring on the first floor, and an original plaster finish on all walls. All new electrical, plumbing, AC/Heat, tankless water heater, water softener, solid foam insulation in the walls and attic, and over a dozen new foundation piers were upgraded to meet or exceed current standards. The exterior features new siding with shake shingles, front porch decking and ceiling, a built-in gas grill with granite bar top, Trex composite decking, brick pavers, upgraded irrigation system, metal and wood fencing, gutters, and professional landscaping and lighting. Plenty of room for outdoor gatherings on the inviting front porch or on the wrap-around side patio.
