A prized Mediterranean, coveted like a ray of sunshine in the rainforest! Drawing upon architectural elements from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, this sublime roost, perched above street level, calls you to linger on the front terrace. The dramatic Venetian windows greet the sunrise and set the tone of this dreamy corner sanctuary. Refinished oak floors and an abundance of divided light windows define the great room, featuring a striking fireplace with a floating mantel and original built-ins. Stainless steel appliances and apron sink grace the open kitchen with a stylish range hood and eating bar. Imbued with the healing sensibility of the Southwest, the open flow fosters gatherings and supports solitude. The flexible floor plan could be readily amended to include a 3rd bedroom by adding a wall to the office, or just draw the drapes for guests. Divide the massive primary closet to add a closet to the 2nd bedroom. The lower level has high ceilings and awaits your family room and shop. With a custom-built storage/display center, ample closets, a double-deep garage, and a blank slate basement, there's room for every hobby and passion. The fenced yard features a covered area for respite on rainy days, with plenty of room for Fido to roam. Enjoy the quiet pocket of the neighborhood with quick access to an array of eateries and shops, multiple grocery stores, parks big and small (Ivon St. Park, Creston Park, pool, off leash area, Mt. Tabor) and excellent transit- with nearby bus stops (Division Express,14,9,75) and just a couple of miles to the orange and green MAX lines. [Home Energy Score = 6.
