Originally built in 1911 and moved to it's current location in 1925, this lovingly maintained and tastefully upgraded Victorian cottage is the epitome of charm and character. A white picket fence surrounds the beautifully landscaped front yard of this two bedroom (plus den), one and one half bathroom home. Additionally there is a detached studio with half bath. Original and period correct features adorn the home throughout, from hinges, door knobs and light fixtures to hardwood floors, high ceilings, tall windows, and original moldings. A gas fireplace is surrounded by built-ins and lends additional storage and ambience to the living room. The front porch harkens back to a simpler time where one can sit and watch the world go by.
Step out the back door and experience the magical back yard that truly sets this property apart from others. Gated and private, the back yard is perched above a natural part of Mission Creek where the view is of wild nasturtiums. A bit of county in the city. Hear the creek roll by from the large renovated and detached studio with half bath and period appropriate details, which would make the perfect home office, art studio or a private place for visiting guests. Relax on one of the tiered flagstone patios and take in the mature plantings, under cover of the majestic overhanging oaks. This tranquil setting is enhanced by a large brick fountain and built-in barbeque grill.
Additionally there is a detached 1 car garage, with a workshop/storage area. Many recent upgrades, including foundation, electrical, and plumbing. Peabody School attendance area.
