A sunny home on Elwood Ave inlaid wood oak floors – a handsome west facing living room with an ornate fireplace, lead colored glass windows, bookshelves, and secretary. Formal and useful dining room has picture railing, wainscoting a tray style ceiling plus an historic built-in buffet hutch. The light filled eat-in kitchen with skylight has madrone wood flooring and looks out onto the yard – plus, there is direct access off the kitchen to a lovely covered outdoor dining area – the spot to be. Generously sized bedrooms on the main floor, with the primary being quite large and with its own direct access to the outside. Updated, modern bathroom off the hallway has 2 shower heads. On the lower level there is an attractive second full bath and third bedroom. Third bedroom looks out onto the front garden area. Laundry is found in the basement which also provides lots of additional storage.

The backyard is level, with a lawn and blue stone patio area that looks out onto mature plantings – a true oasis. Custom metal planters and hardwood fencing add the perfect amount of style and substance. Detached garage is in front of the home.
