First, the wide front porches draw your gaze as you picture morning coffee with the sunrise and evening cocktails with your friends. Step inside and an expansive gathering room stretches out in front of you. Wide plank blond floors, natural light filtering in through large windows and a beamed wood ceiling create a welcome environment for daily living and hosting guests who'll be delighted to have friends who live downtown. Adjacent kitchen features solid surface counters, wood cabinets and new gas stove and refrigerator. Laundry closet is tucked away in the kitchen and the full size washer and dryer new too. A stained glass window adds color to the cool white kitchen. There's a 1/2 bath under the stairs and a Harry Potter closet for extra storage. Wood steps lead up to the bedrooms and office. A small guest room on the right has a southern exposure and a wee alcove for a desk or extra closet space. Across the hall, the office is attached to the full bathroom. Also clad in white, the bathroom has a linen closet and stained glass transom window over the tub/shower. Main bedroom runs the width of the house. A sunny room with its own covered porch where you can look over the street from your high perch. There's nothing like a covered porch and this is a good one indeed. From here watch the moon rise over Lake Maria Sanchez and wish upon the first star you see. Back downstairs to check out the small grassy "patio" and the whimsically tiled path to nowhere. Lot is large enough to offer 2 parking spaces in tandem with a bit of room to store kayaks and bikes behind the house. Less is more when everything you need is within a couple of blocks in any direction and you're welcome to ditch your lawn mower! It's an ideal weekend getaway, a manageable and desirable investment property or a place to call home if your mantra is less stuff and more fun. List of improvements is long - just ask!
