Set on an idyllic, tree-lined street, this storybook Tudor emanates charm and warmth, then delights with its gracious, large-scale floor plan. With 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 2,149 square feet, it’s the rare storybook cottage that’s every bit as generous as it is cute. Classic Tudor lines, sweet cottage details and a warm, welcoming façade give the house the kind of curb appeal that makes you smile before you even get through the door. Inside, high ceilings, warm wood floors and abundant natural light make everything feel bright and airy, while the architecture keeps it cozy and grounded. It’s cheerful and homey, with just a hint of fairytale. It feels especially magical when the leaves start to turn and the evenings get a little cooler. The floor plan is wonderfully easy. Generous living and dining rooms lead to a bright, remodeled kitchen with butcher block counters, marble backsplash and fresh cabinetry, opening into the family room and straight out to the large, mature backyard. 3 generous bedrooms with ample closets and storage, and an updated bath with double vanity are upstairs. A 4th bedroom and 2nd updated bathroom on the main floor easily becomes guest space or office. The home is updated throughout with new paint and lighting, as well as permitted electrical re-wiring and seismic upgrades to bring a modern ease to the old-house character. A detached cottage was converted into partially finished space with a full bathroom, ready to be transformed into a future ADU or workshop. Outside, mature trees and refreshed landscaping create a leafy, private backdrop with room to garden, gather, play and dream up what’s next. There’s a wonderful sense of possibility here, both inside and out. Quaint but not tiny, polished but not precious, bright and cheerful with all the warmth of a house that feels like home the minute you walk in. A little storybook, a little movie set, and very, very cute.
