Up for sale is this darling 3 bed 1 bath 1762 sq ft English Cottage style home in the heart of Brentwood-Darlington.
The owners have shown great pride of ownership with environmentally sound updates, including photo-voltaic solar panels which bank to the grid in bright months and therefore cover 100% of their current energy costs. They’ve also created a gardener’s oasis with multiple planter boxes in the sunny front yard, preferring growing food to grass! They’ve installed rain drains and rain collection systems.
In the uber-private back yard they’ve recently built a new 120 sqft modular bonus building for an office & to house guests. It has AC and heat and beautiful french doors that open to a seating area with fire pit and a view of espaliered apple trees, both bearing fruit!
Closets and storage are a rare thing for a home built in 1941 — all bedrooms have at least 2! The master bedroom takes up the entirety of the attic space and boasts a walk-in closet, several additional closets and storage areas. There’s even room enough for a desk and a reading nook!
The large living and dining area are open to each other, with a decorative coved arch between the two, creating a nice flow. The dining room includes a full wall of built-ins and shelves for dishes, art, books or curios. The current seller now displays some of her own art there!
The bathroom has a luxurious cast iron claw foot tub with a shower system. Perfect for kids, pets, or those who just dream of a ‘good bath’.
The spacious kitchen is a cook’s dream (major elbow-room here!) has recently been remodeled and boasts a good amount of counter space, perhaps room for a small island, but what’s more is that there’s an entire mud porch w/ laundry area and room for recycling, storage, pet maintenance and muddy shoes!
The porch opens to the yard, carport and fenced driveway which is in flag configuration, accessing the side street (64th). The lot to the east has been empty but maintained the entire time the owners have lived there. Renegade croquet anyone?
With easy access to groceries, freeway, the Johnson Creek Watershed, the Spring Water Corridor and myriad parks and community gardens, this has been the perfect first home for them, and they look forward to passing it along to the next!
Listed at $389,900.
