[ SOLD for $434,900 on 1/02/2020 ]  You have to see what’s behind Door Number One!! This 1949 “Wood Streets” gem (with two master suites and approx 1,420 sq ft) is so charming that it will knock your socks off. Walk through the breezeway Dutch door and into the elegant courtyard, then through the front door of the home to be welcomed by recently refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout.

Central air/heat, and updated kitchen with nook area, with matching dishwasher, refrigerator, stove, and built-in microwave. Formal dining room too, with two original corner hutches. Spacious living room with fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the delightful courtyard.  TWO master suites — one with a separate entrance, and lots of closet space, in addition to a walk-in closet in the hallway.

The private backyard is part of a generous lot size of 8,712 sq ft, complete with many citrus trees, privacy, auto irrigation, pathways, and vinyl fencing. The 2-car garage is adjacent to an ample shed for extra storage (or use a gym or office), and there is extra parking for guests or small RV out front.

You really have to view this home to feel its grace and appeal. This home has been in the same family for quite a few years, and it’s time for a new family to enjoy this tranquil space.
