Welcome to this unique home in the southeast corner of Bonnie Brae, a mature neighborhood close to dining, shopping and schools. Stylized by a master carpenter, this home has features like no other, updated throughout with custom woodworking.

In addition, the primary bedroom has updated bath with marble floor, large walk-in closet, and two built-in dressers with soft-close hardware.

A niche room in this area can be used for storage, playroom or whatever suits your needs. In the basement, find a generous family room, a bonus room and large cedar closet. A recently built outbuilding fills much of the backyard and could easily fit 6 vehicles, more if using a lift. Heated by a wood-burning stove, homeowners have used the space for recreation with game tables, dance studio and just plain hanging out. The entire attic of the outbuilding is floored for storage. This building is heavily insulated and has its own 100 amp electric panel. A lean-to behind the building is handy storage. Fenced yard has an organic garden ready for your spring planting. New windows throughout (except bay in living room), fresh interior paint, wired for surround sound. Newer mechanical systems, Class IV roof for insurance savings, new driveway and front porch.
