This captivating California-style bungalow, brimming with character and architectural details, has been stylishly updated with modern amenities for comfort and delight. The gracious 467-square-foot front porch, framed by distinctive arches and elegant stonework, offers a warm welcome and an inviting setting for gathering with family and friends. Inside, the open floor plan, including a spacious living room and corner dining room with rich cherry floors, is ideal for entertaining. There’s no such thing as a bad day when you begin it in your showstopper kitchen, renovated with flair to include cheerful pops of color with extensive custom cabinetry, open shelving, a stunning honeycomb tile backsplash, newer SS appliances, and plenty of space for table/island. Two generous bedrooms with original restored hardwood floors, one full bath, and a multi-functional heated sunroom (mudroom in the colder months!) with side entrance, arched window, skylights and terra cotta tile complete the first floor. Upstairs, the star of the show is the spectacular primary suite with new flooring, a dramatic wood-paneled and beamed vaulted ceiling, picture window, skylights, abundant closet space (including a separate walk-in closet/sitting area) double vanity, and barn door leading to the full skylit bath with new flooring, and adjacent flex space for office/workout/nursery. Fabulous one-of-a-kind light fixtures throughout. Party time centers around the large saltwater gunite pool with new pump in your fully fenced, extra-large lot with room to lounge and play. Updated electrical, newer roof and windows, new water heater, top-of-the-line Buderus boiler, and five new mini-splits ensure comfort year-round. Extra-deep TWO-CAR GARAGE. Unfinished lower level offers laundry, workshop area and all the storage you'll ever need! Incredible location in a charming neighborhood just a few blocks from Norwood’s bustling town center, with shops, restaurants, parks, playgrounds and commuter stations within walking distance. WOW!
