This handsome English Tudor cottage built in 1945 is nestled on a prime tree-lined block in the heart of the neighborhood, close to Forest Hill Muni Station! A lovely garden entrance with boxwood hedges, tree roses, juniper topiaries, hydrangeas and an inviting brick-lined walkway with inlaid compass rose design leads to a charming portico entry with notable front door and into a gracious foyer with convenient coat closet. The magnificent formal living room with dramatic vaulted open-beam ceiling boasts a wood-burning fireplace with classic mantel, gorgeous 20-pane bay window and stunning wide-plank hardwood floors. The elegant light-filled formal dining room with arched doorways, columns and striking chandelier is perfect for entertaining! The beautifully remodeled gourmet kitchen with breakfast area and adjacent walk-out deck with picturesque views to the garden showcases high-end stainless steel appliances including a Thermador gas range and Bosch dishwasher, granite counters, custom cabinets, a handy bar pass-through and butler's pantry. A wrought-iron, open-banister staircase ascends to the split-level landing and hallway with linen and coat closets, laundry chute and built-in wall safe, two good-size bedrooms - one with an enormous wall-to-wall closet and the other with stylish built-in bookshelves - and a remodeled tile full bath with pedestal sink and shower over tub.

The staircase continues to the top-floor master suite with three generous-sized custom closets with organizers, built-in shelving and dresser drawers, and a large en-suite bath with dual vanity sink, big walk-in shower and water closet with privacy door.
