Absolutely charming in its minimal traditional cottage style, this vintage Washington Square home has colonial elegance in its heart. From the original honey hardwood floors to the stately fireplace, one can’t help but feel at home! Walking up the pathway to the welcoming porch notice the richly paneled door with unique sidelight, the scalloped and distinctive trim, and the decorative shutters on the mullioned, double hung windows. Inside the foyer, the inviting living room beacons through the archway with multiple large windows, a spacious open space for entertaining, and the focal point is a large brick fireplace with a dramatic, wood, colonial-style surround with mantle to decorate during holidays and entertaining! Next the dining room feels ideal for entertaining with vintage lighting, paneled walls with chair railing, simple and elegant crown molding, and more beautiful, wood-framed windows. Through the paneled door to the sunny yellow original tiled kitchen complete with a round tiled peninsula, plenty of cabinetry, and an O’Keefe and Merritt antique stove! The stylized linoleum is wonderfully of the era and the breakfast nook offers a place for gathering near the chef! There are 2 generous-sized bedrooms both with hardwood floors and fabulous views of the back patio and garden. The bath has everything you need with bright white tile and both a tub and a shower. The laundry room is next to the kitchen through a glass paneled door and has storage cabinets and a door to the backyard and driveway for ease of bringing in groceries. Don’t forget the built in ironing board, a stable in the homes of this period! In the backyard, discover an artist’s studio or office with fun checkered flooring just waiting for its new purpose. Front and back yards have been freshly seeded and have mature plants and trees including avocado and citrus trees and a succulent garden. A brick pathway leads to the covered patio, perfect for relaxing with a great book or entertaining guests at the next birthday party.
