A vibrant redbud tree in the front yard and welcoming front porch set the tone for this Craftsman Bungalow in NOBE. A gloriously spacious entry flows into the living room where hardwood floors meet high coved ceilings and many windows invite the light in. Open living & dining room with fireplace sets the scene for special meals with friends/family. In the hall, two bedrooms with full bath, hall closet; large front bedroom has lots of light, primary suite offers its own bath and quiet retreat. Through the dining room, an eat-in kitchen charms with SS appliances, butcher block counters, a fabulous deep farm sink, and cottage-style wainscoting. Need a home office, creative space, or chill zone? A bonus room off the kitchen, with adjacent laundry room, gives you options and another closet – perhaps a third bedroom or “blow it out” with French doors to the yard! The fully fenced backyard is an outdoor haven with flowering plants, a spacious patio, raised garden beds, lush lawn, and the surprise of a sweet pond under a mature shade tree. There is a long driveway, a wonderful garage and the full basement has many possibilities, whether as a workshop or more storage space. Bright, open, and full of life—this home checks all the boxes in vibrant convenient NOBE! Walkscore 90, Bikescore 99
