NORTH CITY PARADISE HOME

Life at 15 Pine Street is all about maximum enjoyment with a minimum of effort. If you’ve become allergic to yard work and have embraced the “less is more” lifestyle, you have definitely arrived at the right place. Scoring high marks for walkability, this house is within 2 blocks of a genuine old-style main street where you can buy a couch, order wedding cupcakes, enjoy coffee, pizza or fine dining, get a haircut, visit the dentist, have an ice cream, purchase a book, art, flowers or antiques.

Hand-carved pineapple detail in the porches define this hospitable 2 1/2 story home looking out to Hospital Creek basin and the Mission lake. Step into the sunny living room with Federal moldings and polished wood floors. A generous room for gathering and dining with a French door opening to a private deck. 1st floor bedroom comes with a Murphy bed and is presently used as an office with a scenic view that easily distracts! Everyone loves the kitchen under its vaulted and beamed ceiling. Large triangular window invites diffused sunshine through the tree canopy. Bead-board cabinets and tumbled stone counters inspire great meals and it’s 2 steps to the deck for outdoor dining and hosting friends. A big laundry room provides welcome storage and another few steps lead to small side patio and bicycle shed. 1st floor full bathroom is irrepressibly cheerful with rustic sunflower yellow tiles and hand-painted sink.

Master bedroom is at the top of the stairs boasting a treetop covered porch. Split into a sleeping section and sitting room, there is an Italian stair that takes you to the conditioned 3rd floor being used for additional closet and craft area. Smaller 2nd bedroom is ready for guests and shares the lovely bathroom with slipper tub and separate shower.

Fully renovated in 2002 with continued enhancements since then, for the laid back urban dweller, this is paradise indeed. Immerse yourself in our historic city with art, music, innovative food and drink – welcome….
