This tranquil and bright Arbor Lodge bungalow sparkles with tasteful finishes, classic details, and generous spaces. It’s perched proudly off the low-key street and is surrounded by beautifully-landscaped flower beds and garden paths. Sporting a fresh coat of striking exterior paint, this house gracefully offers a peaceful and quiet refuge, both indoors and out. (The quiet is enhanced greatly by the high-quality Andersen windows throughout most of the first floor.)
Once inside the front door, the floorplan is laid out with an efficiency that gives it a much more expansive feel than its 914sf might suggest. There is a straight-line view from the front door to the inviting back deck, adding generous light and spaciousness to the kitchen. Bright whites, neutral grays, and contrasting blacks, against the backdrop of hardwood floors throughout, give this 1927 gem an elegant boost.
The rest of the main floor offers two corner bedrooms with plenty of windows for light and fresh breezes, as well as the bathroom with original clawfoot tub set on matte black tiles. The upstairs is one large room with a high-peaked ceiling that provides flexible options, from a main bedroom to a creative studio to a zen retreat space.
The entire lot has been meticulously considered with its hardscaping and plantings. The extra-deep lot is fully fenced in the back and offers a raised deck from the back door, as well as a nicely-laid concrete patio below. There are so many options for chill space and entertaining (when it’s not +100 degrees outside!). The lot is bordered by a wide alley which adds to the feeling of extra space and privacy. Finally, there is also a detached garage at the head of the driveway with a wide double-swing door for storage and projects.
The owners have lovingly improved the home in their short tenure, with new electric service, fresh exterior paint and siding upgrades, rebuilt chimney, and a dual-fuel range. Finally, if all of this wasn’t enough, this property has low taxes which makes for a very compelling value. This is a must-see property!
