Shines bright like a diamond! Able to settle quickly! Situated in the heart of Waverly Hills neighborhood this Craftsman construction has been finely tuned by its loving owners. The rocking chair front porch with Brazilian Ipe wood flooring is resplendent; the center hall entrance opens to a traditional yet open floor plan. Gleaming hardwoods on the 1st and 2nd levels are easy care and rich. The heart of the home is the decadent granite island (with a 2nd dishwasher) and the rustic stone surround gas fireplace is warm and welcoming in the adjacent family room. The eat-in kitchen nook has a built-in banquette perfect for a farm table setting. The mud room has built-in's and the large laundry is on this level adjacent to the hub of the house. Up the grand staircase are three bedrooms - one with a cleverly designed double sink and separate water closet/ Jack and Jill bath, and the other with full bath ensuite. The Primary Suite is sumptuous with 2 walk-in closets, a large sitting room area and balcony overlooking the rear yard. The Primary Bath has 2 sinks, a soaking tub and separate stall shower along with a water closet. On the lower level there is a 5th bedroom (or office), full bath and massive carpeted open space for recreation, exercise or movie screening! Loads of storage too! Low maintenance, rear fenced yard for dogs, entertaining, grilling and a fire pit. The lighting and landscaping of the front and rear yards are glorious and the detached two car garage makes for the perfect abode.
