COME SEE - COME BUY! Are you dreaming of an older home with yesteryear charm? Look no further. This 3BR/3BA home is unique and features many wonderful design details. Slight, sloping driveway lands you in this mid-century, 1880sf home. Park in the 3-car carport. A steel beam traverses the carport ceiling. The main entrance takes you into the hallway, where to the left is a naturally lit kitchen, built by well- known local, cabinet maker. Solid surface countertops, pull out shelving, pantry and small island. There's plenty of cabinets in the kitchen and lots of room for two cooks!To the right is the main bedroom with naturally lit, ensuite bathroom. Note the shower and its brass fixtures, in a nautical theme. Large, walk-in closet space and another closet found further inside. The living room and dining room is one big, open area with a wood burning fire pit as a wonderful architectural detail that you might welcome on those cooler evenings. The owner had installed koa-laminate flooring which was an expensive upgrade, back in the day. Over the years, some have been replaced with teak tiles. Guest bedroom (with its own bathroom) is just on the other side of the dining area. You'll note that there are three sets of unique, custom pendant lights in the main house. Don't forget to look up!Outside the home, the owner has lovingly cared for a variety of flowering plants and near the entrance to the home, is an area perfect for growing orchids underneath a shade cloth. For the hobbyist, a workshop and the laundry area is located in its own enclosed space, just beyond the carport. There are more details that you will enjoy discovering, too many to mention here. Don't miss out on this beauty but if you can't see it for yourself, be sure to check out the video tour that offers more photos.
