Welcome to this sweet home in desirable Broadview. This fabulous neighborhood is known for its larger lots, friendly neighbors and easy commuting options.
The first thing you will notice is the undeniable curb appeal. The front garden has been developed over the years to create a welcoming and colorful English cottage garden feel. Once inside, you will appreciate the sunny living room, with large picture window and recently refinished hardwood floors. We love homes built in the ‘40s because of their appealing elements. The wood burning fireplace flanked by windows, and the cute built-in are perfect examples of inherent charm that you just don’t find in new construction.
For those needing lots of room for guests or work-from-home options, you will love the layout of this home. The main level features three good sized bedrooms, and full bath to service this level. The lower-level den or office with French doors would also make a nice media space or extra quiet home office.
You will be “wowed” by the dedicated upper level, spacious primary suite! The room feels like your own private treehouse sanctuary with cathedral ceilings, sitting area, and lovely fir-wrapped windows and fir French door to the private deck and peaceful backyard. Windows in all directions showcase tranquil green views. There is spacious walk through closet and full bath completes the suite.
The cheery galley kitchen has been refreshed with newer flooring, new stainless appliances, painted cabinets, butcher block counters, and white artisan subway tiles. The side patio is nearby for alfresco dining on warm summer evenings and easy outdoor grilling throughout the year.
Summer is here and you and Fido are just in time to enjoy the fully fenced street to street property. Gardeners of all levels will appreciate the established garden full of evergreen shrubs and colorful blooming perennials. The backyard has a more native or natural feel and is perfect for kids and pets to play. The cute garden shed is perfect for garden tool storage, or as a potting shed. Adjacent to the garden shed is a veggie and herb garden with sage, oregano and potatoes ready to go for you. Looking for a relaxing evening? There is a private spot wired and ready for your hot tub.
The hobbyist in the home will enjoy the one car garage. The nearby utility area that is super clean with tons of natural light and an abundance of storage. This will make a great area for tinkering or a light-filled space for creative endeavors. Other bonuses of this well-maintained home include updated plumbing, wiring, insulation and earthquake retrofitting!

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.
