First time on the market in 64 years, and only two owners since 1955, this well-loved family home is awaiting its new owner. Located in the private and desirable Charloma Estates neighborhood, its lovely landscaping, big shady tree, roses, and charming brickwork will welcome you and your guests. Upon entering, you will find original and pristine parquet floors in the foyer, and gorgeous 1955 hardwood floors throughout the family room, hallway, and three downstairs bedrooms. Primary bedroom features a separate dressing room, ensuite bath, and slider to a deck overlooking the lush back yard. Second downstairs bedroom is quite large, and the third is currently being used as an office. The hallway bathroom features stunning vintage tile in mint condition. Open kitchen with granite counters, separate dining area, and granite island separating the dining area and family room. The large family room features a wood burning brick fireplace (with gas lighter), built-in bookshelves, and sliders leading to a huge covered patio and shady back yard with mature, delicious, and productive avocado and orange trees. There are two bedrooms upstairs, with brand new carpet, and a third 3/4 bathroom downstairs off the service porch. Upgrades include: Full copper plumbing; double-paned vinyl windows; two newer water heaters; newer furnace; and a water softening system. Best of all, there are no neighbors behind you, as this home backs up to Gallatin Elementary School. This is a wonderful established neighborhood, known for its 4th of July gatherings, and homes here do not come on the market often, so come see it right away.
