From the Agent: "This quintessential craftsman located in the Grandlake neighborhood boasts much of its original charm. Warm wood accents, original millwork, a period fireplace, and built-ins all remain intact with a design-forward twist that launches it into a gorgeous dream home. The spacious, updated, farm-style, eat-in kitchen elevates its function for today’s living while maintaining the craftsman allure. Ideally situated on a lovely tree-lined street, it enjoys a picturesque views of the surrounding hills while still feeling private."
