This special property offers a secret garden setting and welcomes you immediately upon opening the entry gate. The home oozes vintage charm & character but with SO MANY modern upgrades & comforts; newly installed central air, and renovated bathrooms and kitchens, to name just a few. A gas fireplace adds coziness to the large living room and the open kitchen with quartz countertops and professional-grade appliances is great for entertaining. Hardwood floors throughout plus lots of natural light streams into the large rooms. Just outside your door, the private garden is a true extension of the living space where you can dine under cafe lights and grow your own vegetables in a fenced garden with raised beds. An inviting hot tub is nestled into a cozy, private nook just off the powder room, perfectly suited for a late-night soak. Sincerely, this is one of the most warm and enchanting homes on the market in this price range and it's not just fixed-up' to sell. It has been lovingly cared for by the current owners and renovated with quality materials and finishes. Enjoy walkability to Whole Foods, Peet's, Trader Joe's, lovely hiking trails, and Dominican Univ events. Welcome to Happy Valley!
