This lovely 1890 Victorian combines the graciousness of the past with the comforts of modern updates to create a home filled with style and charm. The front yard is welcoming with Japanese maple, fig, rosemary and lavender. Inside, the large light-filled living room has high ceilings, a bay window and oak floors that signal elegance from another era. The dining room has a beautiful fireplace and original built-in cabinets. The kitchen has an open feel - granite counters are a modern touch, while the generous pantry spaces add vintage charm. Down the hall is a full bathroom and spacious bedroom overlooking the backyard. A bonus room provides a space for an office, and laundry is conveniently located near the kitchen. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a full bath. The backyard is a magical urban oasis, lovingly layered with a lush lawn, California native plants, and rose bushes; further back are bountiful beds of vegetables. A roomy patio in back is ideal for entertainment.
