Tucked away on a quiet street in sought-after Deering Highlands, this warm and inviting shingle-style 1905 Dutch Colonial offers the perfect blend of period details and modern conveniences for today's buyer. Original features include wood floors, French doors, built-in bookcases, and high ceilings. The first-floor layout offers an updated kitchen with honed granite counters, stainless steel appliances, ample cabinet space, and opens to the formal dining room. The spacious front-to-back living room with built-in bookcases opens through French doors to a three-season porch overlooking the private backyard and a welcoming entry foyer and half-bath complete the first level. On the second floor, you will find three bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with two closets, including one walk-in, and a generously sized full bathroom. The private, fenced backyard is an oasis with a stone patio and mature trees. An oversized one-car garage has great potential for a studio or workshop. Located in close proximity to all of the amenities this neighborhood is known for, including restaurants, coffee shops, retail shops, an award-winning bakery, Burbank Library, and area schools, you can find nearly everything you need without getting in a car. This is a truly special home in a wonderful location!
