Welcome to this sweet home in the heart of Broadview. You will appreciate the thoughtful updates throughout with a focus on sustainability, energy efficiency and, above all, honoring the original 1940s charm of this little gem. Warm hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings greet your guests in the open living room. Anchored by a wood burning fireplace, both the dining room and living room enjoy large picture windows for natural light throughout the day. The living room features custom built-in window seating, storage and display shelves.
The kitchen and other elements in the home are completely custom by local cabinet maker Kerf Designs. Great care was taken to maximize storage and modern aesthetics. You’ll love that that no space was wasted, and the end result draws your eye up for unique display and storage options. The chef in the home will also appreciate the solid stone counters, farm-style sink overlooking the back yard, high-end appliances and gas cooking. A fun and unique feature in the kitchen is the custom Murphy table for two. Scalloped edges and mini shelves pay homage to the home’s 40s beginnings. French doors lead from the kitchen to the large entertainment deck and fully fenced back yard. You will appreciate that the professionally designed yard is a pesticide free zone for the health and safety of pets and people.
The bedroom wing features two bedrooms, both with decent closet space. The second bedroom features vaulted ceilings and a skylight, making the room feel very inviting. You will love the remodeled Zen bathroom, complete with heated floors, soaking tub and custom tile work representing Buddha.
Take the ship ladder up to the unique loft area. This space was used as a dedicated play area and storage. You could turn this bonus space into a home office.
Extra bonuses that we know the new Buyer will love include the metal roof, solar panels and 220 EV charging.

Not far from this home is Dunn Gardens. This is a privately owned 7.5-acre property composed of the remaining acreage of the estate of Arthur G. Dunn Sr., who made his fortune in the fish cannery business. Dunn bought the property in 1914 as a summer get-a-way for his family, and contracted the landscaping to the Olmsted Brothers. Upon his death, the property was inherited by his children. His son Edward B. Dunn provided for the care of his share of the estate in his will. A trust was created two years after his death to oversee the entire property. Dunn Gardens were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 15, 1994, and are open for special public events and docent-led guided tours April through July, and from September through October.
