No builder-grade greige here—just pure, golden-hour magic in coveted Watts-Hillandale. A classic Cape Cod built in 1941, you will be charmed by the original plaster walls, interior arches, original wood doors and trim, and unlacquered brass door hardware that develops a deeper patina every year. The entry foyer opens onto a large, light-filled living room with original wood trim, hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace. An arched opening into the formal dining room creates a sense of open space without detracting from each room's necessary delineation. The real star of the main floor, though, is the large, light-filled kitchen. Built-ins abound for your cookbooks and pottery, and your plants will love the windows! In the center of the room is a large farm table ideal for lingering after-meal conversations, morning coffee, and neighborhood dinner parties. Or just rolling out the dough for your biscuits! Two bedrooms and a full bath with original black and white tile round out the main floor. Upstairs find two more bedrooms plus a half bath and a delightful hobbit-height opening into an enchanting tucked-away reading nook. Outside, find a yard filled with native plants, garden beds flanking the front porch, plus a quiet back deck with a swing and a screened porch. Three parks are a quick roll/stroll from the house. Ninth Street, too. If you want vintage quality more than griege "perfection," this one's for you!
