An enchanting English Cottage Revival home, in the heart of Modesto's beloved Sundial neighborhood, known for its charming homes, beautiful trees, and timeless appeal. Inside, you'll find beautiful hardwood floors, classic plaster walls, and dual-pane windows that complement the home's original charm. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers two bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs, along with beautifully remodeled bathrooms on both levels. The downstairs bath features a tiled tub/shower combination, quartz countertop, & tile flooring, while the upstairs bath boasts a spacious walk-in tiled shower with built-in bench & an updated quartz vanity countertop. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, replaced cabinetry, & recessed lighting. A comfortable family room with a newer gas-log fireplace insert and remote creates the perfect place to relax. Additional highlights include a partial basement, separate heating & air conditioning systems for each level, a whole-house fan, and newer water heater. But the real showstopper is the backyard! A lush, private garden retreat lovingly cultivated by an avid gardener, this outdoor space is truly something special. A gorgeous, expansive PebbleTec pool & spa with solar heating take center stage, surrounded by mature landscaping & beautiful greenery. Enjoy outdoor dining and entertaining under the covered patio, tend to the raised garden beds, or pick fresh Meyer lemons, limes, and oranges from your own trees! A spacious storage shed, thoughtfully painted to complement the home & garage, adds both charm and practicality. The trees have also been recently trimmed. The detached two-car garage is equally impressive, featuring epoxy flooring, built-in cabinetry, and 220V electrical service. Expanded at the rear, it offers valuable additional space with endless possibilities for a workshop, hobby area, extra storage, or whatever suits your needs! A rare combination of classic architectural character, thoughtful modern improvements, and an extraordinary backyard oasis, all in one of Modesto's most treasured established neighborhoods. This is a home to fall in love with!
