This spectacularly charming 1942 storybook ranch home features gingerbread trim and dovecotes - evocative of the famous Mellenthin birdhouse homes. This home looks like itcame to life out of a beautiful fairytale...maybe it'smeant to be yours? The home also features a beautiful restored octagonal diamond glass window, the original front door with intact speakeasy, and beautiful wood siding. Beyond the charming facade, you're graced with a lovingly renovated home with soaring 20 foot plus ceilings, large skylights and an open and airy living area. Walking into the home provides a reaction nothing short of stunned silence, as you take in the high ceilings, the sunlight streaming in and the warm solid oak flooring warming the space. The beautiful wood beams separate the vaulted living room, featuring the perfect indoor outdoor flow via bifold doors that open up much of the west wall - perfect for sunset viewings. The dining room is ready for those dinner parties you throw, featuring a bar area with bar sink so you can whip up your favorite cocktail. The perfect kitchen showcases the stunning Ilve stove and gorgeous subtly-veined countertops set against the chocolatey warm cabinets. Handmade raw brass sconces warm the space. The double casement window is perfect for serving friends enjoying the out-of-doors. With four bedrooms, you have plenty of space to spread out or provide for multiple work-from-home spaces. Ample storage space abounds, from the coat closet to the floor-to-ceiling original linen closet built-in. The bathrooms are stunning and unique, ready to provide sanctuary to you and your guests. The primary bedroom feels like a vacation retreat, featuring two separate walk-in closets, vaulted ceilings, bifold doors that perfect frame your very own persimmon and lemon trees, and the most luxurious bathroom with sunlight streaming into the private soaking tub.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
