Property Description
Come be charmed by this stylish two-bedroom, one-bath home that punches well above its weight. This well-cared-for 1940s bungalow has been lovingly maintained and updated in just the right places while maintaining its original warmth and character. The home features two nicely-sized bedrooms, each with its own closet and two windows. With its beautiful fireplace, original wood trim, coved ceilings, and vintage tiled kitchen, the home maintains its charm alongside the significant modern updates, including dimmable recessed lighting throughout, a new refrigerator, a newer furnace, a radon mitigation system, and updated fixtures. Built-in cabinets, large garage, attic, and outside shed provide additional storage with room to grow. There is an additional heated flex space in the basement that can be used as an office or studio space. The entire house inside and out has been prepped and painted within the past three years. As you turn down the street, you'll immediately notice the thick canopy of trees towering over the well-maintained homes. The lush front yard provides a shaded park-like feel that protects the house from the summer heat, while the sunny backyard boasts a mature pear tree, tasty blueberries and raspberries in the summer, and a raised garden bed for produce. Fragrant lavender, sage, and hyssop surround the home. Wooden fencing and a huge laurel bush offer plenty of privacy. The home is situated on the border of the Cully and Roseway neighborhood in a tiny couple-block enclave the neighbors still lovingly refer to as Montbrae (it's long forgotten original name). It's a quick shot to major thoroughfares like Sandy Boulevard, 82nd Ave, I-205, and I-84. It's also a short easy distance to Alberta, Beaumont, and Hollywood districts. [Home Energy Score = 5.
