English Country CottageThis charming home, with an inviting front yard, is nicely situated on a quiet tree-lined street. In a peaceful neighborhood, with many remodeled and rebuild homes on the street, this traditional San Marino offers a wonderful opportunity. Built in 1940, this darling single level home has been lovingly cared for by the same family since 1964. It is time for new owners to reimagine this traditional home. The entry is graced by beautiful shade trees. The original hardwood floors throughout are underneath carpeting, untouched for many years. The formal living room features a fireplace with original mantle and marble hearth. There are mullioned windows with plantation shutters. The well-proportioned room is perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The adjacent formal dining room opens to a large patio, the ideal place to enjoy quiet, alfresco meals. The kitchen is light and bright and is updated. It has been well designed with a very modern layout, incorporating an island and a plethora of cabinetry including incredible storage. The double sink has a large greenhouse window that looks out over the backyard. The laundry room also offers additional cabinetry. The home features three bedrooms. On one side there is a bedroom wing with two bedrooms. The master has three closets and a charming window seat. The front bedroom is good sized and has a nice closet. These two bedrooms share a full hall bathroom. The third bedroom is off the living room and it has been converted to a den, which functions as a family room. Nearby is a 3/4 bath. The 2-car attached garage has an automatic opener. The backyard is spacious, peaceful and very private. At the rear is a playhouse, which now offers an additional room to work.
