Tucked away on a private dead-end street, this extraordinary 1912 Craftsman sits on over 1/2 acre of curated gardens and feels more like a country retreat than a city home. A truly magical setting. Mature plantings surround the property on all sides, from an incredible Japanese maple to sky-high rhododendrons, creating a private world where deer and bunnies occasionally wander through.

This is urban farming at its finest, with a pond, greenhouse, extensive irrigation, and a 10,000-gallon cistern that collects rainwater for use in the gardens. The quintessential Craftsman exterior features shingle siding, architectural detailing, and a welcoming front porch, while the matching carriage house provides parking for two cars and abundant storage in its basement.

The rustic lower level, currently used for gardening and yard tools, offers wonderful potential as a potting area or garden workshop. Inside, the charm and character continue. The formal entry opens to a spacious living room with wood floors and an architect-designed wood stove nook that brings both warmth and efficiency.

At the back of the home, the open kitchen and dining area are framed by large windows overlooking the gardens, with doors opening to a private deck that feels suspended among the trees, like a treehouse in the garden. The kitchen features tiles collected by the owners during their travels, adding to the home's warm, personal character.

An office and full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, three cozy bedrooms and a full bath offer treetop views from nearly every window, with the bathroom enjoying an expansive outlook over the gardens and mature trees. The spacious basement offers natural light and a walk-out door to the yard.

Thoughtful updates include newer double-pane windows and a newer furnace. Lovingly cared for by the same owners for nearly 50 years, this is a home with a soul, artful, eclectic, and completely unlike anything [Home Energy Score = 2. HES Report
