Unwind in This Secret Garden
If you've been searching for peace and serenity, yet still want to be the "it" place for friends and family to gather, then look no further than this 1919 Craftsman bungalow in Belmont Heights sitting on a 5,423 sq. ft lot. Close to bustling 2nd Street in Belmont Shore, you'll be transported to the dappled hills of Carmel when relaxing in the massive back yard shaded with magnificent trees and hundreds of gently bowing branches. Period details like leaded glass, hardwood floors, crown and picture molding, and push-button light switches blend seamlessly with updated amenities, like a wood-paneled master bath custom designed with a walk-in shower (including a dog-height hand-held) and vaulted beamed ceiling; recessed lighting; and ceiling fans in nearly every room. A formal light-filled living room and spacious foyer flow into the open floor plan which includes a kitchen with butcher block counters and a 1950s O'Keefe & Merritt stove/oven, a dining area and a sitting/lounge area with French doors that open wide onto an elevated wood deck and additional patio/dining area. The second bedroom has a darling en suite bath in superb vintage condition. Detached one-car garage with direct alley access through a wooden gate.
