Genuine peace and quiet in the heart of the city may seem unlikely, but this thoughtfully updated Shoreline home delivers exactly that. At just over 1,600 square feet, it has urban walkability without sacrificing the calm, green surroundings you'd expect to find well outside the city limits. The spacious living room greets you with a classic bay window framing mature ornamental gardens. Come winter, gather by the fire; come summer, stay comfortable with central heating and AC powered by a newer heat pump. Down the hall you'll find a recently updated full bath and well-proportioned bedrooms. The open kitchen flows naturally out to a massive west-facing deck, freshly treated and ready for weekend barbecues. Beyond it, a fully gated backyard offers something truly special: established flower beds, a working herb garden, a greenhouse, and plenty of room for an urban farm or simply an afternoon in the sun. A separate entrance leads to a freshly updated flex space: ideal as a playroom, home gym, or office, followed by a generous third bedroom and utility room with a brand new LG washer and dryer. Plumbing access here presents an exciting potential opportunity for a future second bathroom (buyer to verify). And when you're ready to venture out? A movie theater, restaurants, bars, cafes, markets, parks, and all three neighborhood schools are all within walking distance, with quick transit access just moments away. This one is special.
