Open house cancelled due to receiving contract. Is this Baltimore or the Great Southwest? You may do a double take when you see this OOAK home. Perched on a lovely treed corner lot, in a quiet but close community in desirable Mt Washington. Absolutely charming home beginning with a private sunny courtyard leading to the house. Once inside, the oversized hallway leads you to my idea of a perfect living room. Generous in size, proportioned just right, a wood fireplace, build ins and French doors leading to a private patio overlooking the beautifully landscaped side yard. This is nirvana! Back inside the dining room is light filled and spacious. The retro sunny kitchen has a banquette for your dining pleasure as well as a skylight. Three good sized well proportioned bedrooms all with generous closets and a full bath round out the main floor. Did I mention how wide the halls are? They are the "lungs' of the house, and it has such a great feeling, besides keeping the house naturally cool in the summer (though there is central air). Plus all the stylish Mediterranean features, like wide arched doorways, wood floors though-out except the stone floor in the kitchen, stucco, and of course the many outdoor private areas. Heading to the lower level is an oversized laundry room, powder room and a separate office. Then a huge open space that is currently used as a family TV room with a pool table (which conveys). This home is set up perfectly for large parties, which the current owners have had. Another office is tucked in the back as well as tons of storage complete with a large cedar closet. The back yard has a lovely garden and a natural privacy screen ( NOT bamboo) from the neighbors. Plus a double detached garage! This house has such good karma! Come see for yourself, it's easy to show. Seller prefers a 6 week close with a rent back until Sept 26. Selling "as is" but in fine condition.
