After 43 years of being lovingly designed and cared for by one family, this quintessential 1937 historic cottage is available to one lucky recipient! Set on a shady, lush tree-lined street in sought-after "Washington Square" neighborhood known for its Spring Wine Garden, Fourth of July bike parades and movie nights, love at first sight begins with blooming roses, a picket fence, winding brick paths and a covered front porch which immediately take you back to a bygone era. Quality construction materials such as redwood siding, arched thick plaster walls, bow windows & solid oak floors are only some of the reasons historical homes are at a premium. 1641 square feet on one level begins just off the front porch...Upon entering the foyer, a spacious formal dining room & expansive living room are open & airy with loads of natural light via picture windows. The living room with arched entry is warmed by a fireplace and bookcases.

Three spacious bedrooms include a primary suite with a graceful bow window & two walk-in closets (one cedar lined!) The two secondary bedrooms offer large windows and loads of closet space.
