OPEN HOUSE SAT 5/15 12-4PM!! Opportunity beckons! This homey half duplex in the San Rafael Historic District tastefully combines vintage charm with modern updates for a wholly satisfying end result. This home is located smack dab in the middle of the hustle and bustle of central Whittier/Five Points, yet it also resides on a quiet, beautifully maintained block that somehow isn't flanked by major thoroughfares. Blink and you'll miss it; however, once you see it, you could spend plenty of time admiring the blooming cherry blossoms, gorgeous flower garden, and general curb appeal of this subtle gem. Alas, such moments must pass, but don't worry - there is plenty more to discover inside! Step past the leisurely large front porch, through the front door and into the cozy living room, complete with rich wood floors and comfy gas fireplace. The energy then pulls you into the formal dining room, where you'll find vintage built-ins and the prettiest half-bath you've seen this year (check the wallpaper & pedestal sink!). A few more steps and you'll find yourself in the light-and-bright, beautifully updated kitchen, with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash and new cabinets. The modern kitchen juxtaposed against the 1898 construction creates a lovely marriage of style, form, and function. Through the back door you will find the cozy and functional backyard - an urban oasis with privacy fencing, garden boxes, deck, and paver stone patio! The unfinished basement is big enough to be functional - Finish it as an extra bedroom/bathroom for an equity payoff; throw down some mats and you've got a home gym/studio; Keep it as-is and take advantage of the ample storage space; the possibilities abound! Upstairs you'll find two large bedrooms - the Western bedroom is connected to the 2nd-story west-facing balcony, which gives you a mostly uninterrupted view of downtown and the Rockies! And yes, the sunsets are as incredible as you would expect.
