Off the market 3 beds 2 baths 2,154 sqft
This wonderful Grand-Lake brown shingle home features an elegant vintage aesthetic. The rolled roof architecture similar to homes found in Carmel creates a welcoming curb appeal, which is only further enhanced with the arched hallways inside the home. Windows flood the living room with light, and the bedrooms are bright. The home can be accessed without any steps from the rear entrance. The kitchen opens directly onto the rear deck where mature trees and plants cover the back yard, creating a sense of privacy in this park-like landscaped oasis. The downstairs bedroom features a separate garden entrance and an en suite bath. There is also a wonderful office plus space located downstairs. Perfectly situated in between Grand and Lakeshore Ave, 557 Crofton offers many possibilities for shopping, dining, public transportation and entertainment. 2 off street parking spaces.
