The quintessential Niles home! A polished gem that has been updated and expanded from its historic footprint, with a gorgeous garden to match. A total remodel resulted in an added en suite and a cook's dream kitchen with granite counters, custom baking center, pull-outs, and prep areas for large parties; remodeled bathrooms with a stunning skylit shower; and a huge added bedroom which opens to a generous porch overlooking a garden walk through perennial beds surrounded by apricot, peach, pluot, citrus and birch trees. Fruit ripening on the vines and the fragrance of jasmine, roses and sweet olive graces your meander. Homes with this blend of single-level character and sophistication are rarely available anywhere but especially in Niles, where folks love the community and climate so much they tend to stay. Fully insulated with energy efficient appliances, thermal paned windows, new electric panel, and tankless water heater. Lot has designed space with separate access for ADU, tiny house, mobile home or 5th wheel. Walk a few short blocks to the Saturday Farmer's market in historic downtown or enjoy the many shops, restaurants, museums and more. A few short blocks will also take you to the Alameda Creek Trail for walking, running, hiking and riding from the Canyon to the Bay where you can enjoy the many parks and lakes along the way. A rare find with seamless integration of modern living and natural surroundings.
