**New recent upgrades include ensuite master bath, added half bath, and pantry space.** This historic Oakhurst home tucked behind a beautiful tree is a Craftsman beauty – from exposed rafter tails peeking out at the eaves, to tapered columns rising from large stone piers, to a front porch as wide as the house offering room for a swing and a seating space. Enter the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home, built in 1915, and you’ll find traditional quality and details there, too: Original hardwood floors, doors, and hardware, and a breathtaking large fireplace flanked by a built-in parson’s bench on one side and bookshelves on the other. The large dining room can seat 10 with ease for a big dinner, staged from the butler’s pantry. The kitchen, covered in cabinets and finished with stainless appliances, connects to a separate pantry and a laundry room. The master suite is on the main floor, connected to the living room via double pocket doors. Up a grand staircase is access to a covered porch overlooking the enormous, extra deep private back yard as well as a second full bath and two large bedrooms. Need even more space? Check out the door from one bedroom leading to a partially finished attic that’s ready for storage now or another bedroom later. There’s a covered patio in back, as well as parking for four, and a workshop for staging weekend projects. All this luxury, with the parks, shops and other amenities of Oakhurst.
