New 30-yr roof installed earlier this week! (complete tear-off & re-roof). This exquisitely updated historic Craftsman home is located in the coveted Manito Park area across from Duncan Garden! Nestled near the heart of Manito Park, just 1 block south of the Japanese Garden, the Rose Garden, Gaiser Conservatory, and the French Garden. The house is set back from the park just enough to provide privacy and quiet enjoyment, with views of the park from the front porch! Location couldn't be any more ideal. Listen in on summer Concerts in the Park from the lovely covered back porch which remains cool even on the warmest summer days. Secluded and beautifully landscaped yard has over $30k in improvements including a large concrete patio, two beautiful rock garden areas inspired by the nearby Japanese Garden, and a variety of decorative bushes and plants purchased over the years from Manito Park's annual plant sales.. Enjoy your morning coffee year-round in the spectacular glass-walled sunroom. Main floor of house is exceptionally light & bright with windows on all sides, providing abundant natural light. Freshly refinished original hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace with brick surround. Beautifully updated kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and an eat-in bar.
