NOSTALGIA MADE MODERN This is a traditional bungalow thoroughly updated for modern living. A cottage that looks/feels like it did when it was built in the 1950's (guessing date) with great wooden floors and wood trim everywhere. Original exterior wood siding is in great condition newly painted. The owners kept the original wooden windows. What you will not notice is that the owners took everything apart in the house so they could put the house back together with all NEW plumbing, NEW HVAC, NEW electric, NEW insulation, and storm windows to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They rebuilt the kitchen. Kept the original real wood cabinets but put in all new appliances. New kitchen floor. They updated the previously enclosed back porch for your den or TV room. BUT THE BEST THING is that you are only minutes from wonderful City BEACH where you have FREE PARKING. First class restaurants and stores all in walking distance. FURNITURE AI Large parcel ( 198 feet on Barker St) has been formally divided into two separate lots so you can create a family compound with two main houses and a small ADU The grotto, 10 feet down into the ground, was created from a previous creek. It is a place where you can sit, watch the water go by and escape the world completely if you leave your phone in the house. Grotto is surrounded by trees and bushes so it is hidden from the street. Large incomplete building out back can become the basis for an inground swimming pool or a great building for a shop to make things. Or a garage for cars plural. Water and sewer piped from the house into the incomplete building so you can have a bath for whatever you create. Basement has been cleaned and with all new utilities it can become a great space for the kids to go make noise. Just like it was 70 years ago. Golf cart is for sale at $5,000. Sauna also for sale at $5,000.
