Property Description
This 1940 constructed house was turned into a modern Craftsman Style home in 2010. The structure was taken down to the studs & rebuilt meticulously from the inside out on the main level. An open floor plan with a 12' great room ceiling & gas log fireplace, which then opens into a large ultra-modern kitchen that further expands through sliders to a massive patio area. The interior of this home ranks high on any appeal chart. The location is at the very southern, residential end of Lovers Lane near West Lake. Situated on a manicured 1.2 acre site/a border of mature trees on 3 sides that offers mostly complete privacy from adjoining properties. It's a park-like setting with plenty of wildlife. The U-shaped driveway offers easy access to the street. The 34'x32' garage easily accommodates 3 vehicles. A portion of the garage area is a 9'x30' workshop plus a lean-to covered area for additional storage. This is a special property not typically found in a city setting. Enjoy your visit!
