The dining room features Mahogany paneling and plate rails, and a gorgeous, large built in buffet with mirrors and metal diamond-shaped drawer pulls. Both rooms have period appropriate lighting with ceiling fans.
The original swinging kitchen door with a diamond window leads you into the gourmet kitchen that features stainless steel Viking Professional appliances and beautiful granite countertops. The newer Birch cabinetry has a modern Craftsman feel, and diamond shaped pulls. There is ample storage and china cabinets. Slate flooring and recessed lighting complete the gourmet kitchen.
A separate attached laundry room is just off the back of the kitchen. To the right of the kitchen is the third bedroom with a service door and porch that also overlooks the backyard. This sunny room could be an office or a breakfast area/sunroom. There is a front bedroom with a large organized closet and a French service door off of the front porch. The second bedroom has an attached bathroom with a shower, and a French service door leading to the backyard. There is also a full bathroom with tub and shower, pedestal sink, and built-in storage cabinet.
The huge backyard is perfect for entertaining, with a large brick patio, mature pepper trees and large bamboo. Automatic sprinklers are in the back and front yards.

This is perfect for someone who needs a large workshop area, studio or is a car collector. The front driveway can fit 2 cars, and it continues into backyard to the very back of the lot where at least 5 more cars could fit.
