This is the final price reduction before this house is taken off the market. This meticulously restored home sits atop a hillside corner lot in the coveted Normandy Estates neighborhood. The 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home has a thoughtful blend of 1960s farmhouse charm and high-end finishes – every surface was tediously renovated over the past several years (not a flip).

The main level features two generous living rooms with massive bay windows, an inviting kitchen, a spacious formal dining room, the primary suite, two additional bedrooms, a second bathroom, and a main floor laundry room. The kitchen features custom cabinets, a built-in refrigerator, a built-in dishwasher, a built-in pantry, quartz counters, massive farmhouse sink, and a stainless oven/microwave set into the brick wall. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and beautiful bathroom with quartz counters, a custom quarter-sawn white oak vanity, a custom shower, and heated floors. The second bathroom features matching quartz counters, a white oak vanity, and a custom walk-in shower. Downstairs, the fourth bedroom and full bathroom provide a private setting for guests. A large bonus room downstairs is currently used as a home gym, or could be used as a third living area centered around the home’s second wood-burning fireplace. The covered back patio and private back yard are a welcoming space to entertain and enjoy summer dinners. A deck connecting the front and back yards is supported by cantilever beams, adding to the mid-century charm of this home. Recent updates include a composite deck with custom powder-coated railings and new roof and gutters.

This home is a rare find, thanks to its methodically preserved details like live-edge cedar siding, exposed roof rafter tails, original solid wood entry doors, wide plank tongue-and-groove walls, and wood-cased windows throughout.
