This handsome brown-shingled home is classic outside and full of charm and style inside. Maple, jasmine and succulents grace the front yard. Upon entering, arched windows, coved ceilings, stained glass and pocket doors are some of the original features. A big dining room connects to the kitchen, creating an inviting space for easy entertaining. Off the kitchen is a convenient pantry that leads outside to the back yard. A spacious bedroom in the back has a large window that captures the afternoon light and overlooks the garden. Up a step and through French doors is another light-filled bedroom, which could also be purposed as an office or nursery. Down the hall is the master suite, bright and airy, with a graceful window and an en-suite bathroom.  Deep and sunny, the expansive back yard is a blank canvas waiting for inspiration. Trees around the perimeter bring privacy and a bricked patio is a sweet spot to savor the quiet. A laundry space and a roomy basement offer lots of storage.
