About this home
A 1950s Cottage that grew up right, on one of the last big in-town lots:
Set back behind a wide circular asphalt drive and low stacked-stone retaining walls, this dark-stained mountain home reads quiet and private from the street — Japanese maples, banks of rhododendron, and 100-year-old oaks and white pines doing the screening. From here you can walk to shops, restaurants, the town pool, the parade route, and Bass Lake.
INSIDE THE MAIN LEVEL: The tone is soft sage and blue-green throughout, with original wood-paneled walls, crown molding, and honey-toned hardwood floors that run through most of the house. The entry foyer has a standout feature you won't find in new construction
KITCHEN: Features a big peninsula and island layout in slate tile counters with charcoal-gray cabinetry, a gas cooktop, stainless KitchenAid refrigerator and dishwasher, and a pebble-mosaic backsplash. It opens through cased doorways to a formal dining room and a breakfast area, so the whole front of the house flows together.
THE MAIN LIVING AREA: Centers around the Grandfather stone fireplace — a rounded river-rock hearth with a raised stone base, flanked by a glass door out to the back deck. The large open room with built-in white bookcases and cabinetry and a beamed ceiling break Is connected to a dining room/breakfast area. French pocket doors with original glass panels separate the office/bedroom from the living space — a nice period touch.
BEDROOMS and BATHS: Are generously sized with hardwoods, ceiling fans, and treetop views out every window. Master bath has been fully redone in marble-look tile: A double vanity, farmhouse sinks, Carrara-style counters and Edison-bulb sconces; another in a matching single-vanity layout.
THE LOWER LEVEL: Is a complete second residence, and it's the real story here. It has its own full kitchen (gas range, stainless fridge, exterior door), a bright living room with luxury vinyl plank floors and a pass-through window, additional bedrooms, and its own baths. It's finished and currently rentable — long-term rentals are permitted, and the home has been leased consistently for years.
OUTSIDE: An elevated wood deck wraps the rear of the house past the stacked-stone chimney, with a covered section for shade, room for a sofa and rocking chairs, and stairs down to a big, level, tree-shaded lawn....
