Just what you need when you're trying to make a decision is to have another variable thrown into the mix. That's what happened yesterday when we found another house that immediately became a strong contender.
Here's what the newcomer has going for it:
- Built in 1949
- Very private cul-de-sac on a bluff
- Living space: 2514 square feet
- Lot size: .58 acre (25,264 sf)
- Sprinkler system
- Deck, patio and small front porch area
- Gorgeous landscaping
- Fantastic view of the downtown skyline
- Built-ins
- A round kitchen
- An existing suite for me
Yes, that's right...a ROUND kitchen. It's the coolest thing you've ever seen, and it would be the perfect spot for a Saarinen tulip table or a Noguchi Cyclone. The best thing, though, is that it's already been restored and is move-in ready. Take a look.
