Love a Magic Treehouse? This is a must see! This solid 30s Craftsman w/ Art Deco detail is the gift that keeps giving as you move from front to back. Entering from the circular drive to the upper 2BR/1BA, you'll find a generous mudroom offering a stressless transition to the living room with brick chimney, custom glass cabinetry, and classic arch. Two bedrooms on this floor, each with special features. The primary has a magical treehouse view, walkout balcony, and walk-in closet. The 2nd bedroom/study has a bookcase wall, deep closet, and staircase to an ample walkup attic, ripe for imagination. The light-filled kitchen has a warm, greenhouse feel.

If you can pry yourself away from the views & gardens youll enjoy from the spectacular multi-level deck system at the rear of this solid 1930s Craftsman, youll find plenty indoors to warm your heart. Jogging distance from the City Reservoir & the South Hill Recway, this home was designed as a two unit, with a 2 bedroom main level dwelling (and attic above) and a wholly private 1 br apartment/professional office below. Every single square foot has been improved, updated & reworked to create this surprisingly private oasis. Muni H20 & sewer, ICSD.
