What do you most want in a home? If it is living in a custom-built home with special features and character, this home is it! The house's story began when brothers who owned a lumber yard built a home for their family. They had access to all kinds of wood including exotics, which you will see throughout. In addition to wood floors, there is wainscoting, crown moldings, and many large wood windows, allowing lots of light. Situated in an ideal location set on a hill, but close to stores, shopping plus trendy restaurants, you are among many other charming homes. Sitting back on a 11,430 square foot lot creates a sense of space all around this property. Focus on the foothills, views of Eagle Rock, and beyond. Make sure you come back for evening views across the valley. Step into the formal entry, notice the step-down living room. Large multi-pane windows, high ceilings, rich wood floors, a distinctive rock fireplace with hearth and loads of wall space for your special art make this room a standout. A separate dining room with wood walls, opens to the compact eat-in kitchen. A cozy office overlooks the rear yard. Upstairs are 3 generous bedrooms including the master with gleaming wood floors, several closets and many windows to take advantage of the views. A laundry room with extra storage and an attached 2 car garage, add to the home's desirability. Enjoy the rear yard entertaining area and gardens. This will be a place to relax, entertain, and enjoy the sense of privacy.
