Description
Welcome to a timeless treasure in the heart of the Woodlea Melrose Historic District—a beautifully updated 1944 bungalow nestled on a lush, irrigated lot with a private backyard retreat. From the moment you arrive, this home enchants with its curb appeal: mature grass lawns, a pergola-shaded side yard, and a peaceful front porch perfect for relaxing evenings. Step inside to discover a living space that seamlessly blends historic charm with thoughtful updates, featuring original arches, spacious flow, and details that honor the home's 1940s character. The designer kitchen is a centerpiece of the home, showcasing marble countertops, beautiful cabinetry, a Z-line range, and a hidden microwave tucked into the large pantry closet. French doors lead to a pergola-covered patio overlooking the side yard with real grass and large trees, perfect for gatherings or relaxing in the shade. The private backyard is a separate oasis, featuring synthetic grass, another pergola covered patio, and a covered area with a Sundance spa, offering multiple spaces to unwind or entertain. The versatile 3rd bedroom/flex space could be transformed into a separate income-generating casita with the addition of a bathroom, as it already features its own mini-split and private exterior entrance. The spacious insulated garage (built 2020) is a dream for hobbyists, with built-in cabinets, 220V EV charging, LED lighting, and a mini split AC, making it perfect flex space as a home gym or workshop. Additional modern upgrades include a gas tankless water heater, 200-amp electric service, reimagined landscaping, exterior lighting, and a new sewer line (2020). Located just steps from vibrant local favorites like Copperstar Coffee, The Royale, and Valentine's Restaurant, this home offers the perfect blend of charm, convenience, and community. Rarely does a home with this much character and care come to market - don't miss your chance to make it yours.
