Property Description

Set back, private, and very quiet, this 1941 Arbor Lodge home pairs timeless character with years of thoughtful updates. Recent work includes Renewal by Andersen double-hung windows, a new main-level kitchen, refinished original hardwoods and trim, a Trane furnace, and a Rinnai water heater. Earlier updates brought all-new water plumbing, an updated electrical system, earthquake retrofits, a rebuilt chimney, added insulation for warmth and quiet, an EV charger, a new cedar fence, and a complete lower-level remodel. Inside, archways and cove ceilings set the tone, and polished original hardwoods run through the main living spaces. The living room centers on a wood-burning fireplace with a striking new tile surround, framed by original picture rails and brass hardware. The formal dining room features original built-ins with leaded glass doors. The kitchen is built for real cooking: Fisher & Paykel appliances, a chef’s gas range, deep butcher block counters, mosaic tile backsplash, a farmhouse sink, and a picture window over the garden, plus a prep area with extra storage. The main-level bath keeps its period spirit with a double pedestal sink, built-ins, tub/shower, and wainscoting. Two sunlit bedrooms complete the level. Upstairs, a private primary sits behind its own stairway with tall built-in shelving and an alcove for an office or reading nook. The lower level offers real flexibility with a separate entrance, full kitchen, bedroom, bath with walk-in tiled shower, its own laundry, tankless water heater, polished concrete floors, a gas fireplace, and a family room. Outside,landscaping and climbing roses wrap the property in privacy, and a detached garage adds convenience. Over 3,000 sq ft the Bluffs, shops, and walkable tree-lined streets.
