If your desire is to live in town with a minimum of fuss so you can spend your time discovering all the cultural, culinary and historic treasures awaiting you, we invite you to 15 Pine Street. If cookie-cutter homes make you yawn because you delight in craftsmanship, character and a dose of vintage, we think you'll like what you see. If walking and biking are your favorite modes of transportation, this location couldn't be better and if you're allergic to yard work, you'll be very happy here. Notice the hand-carved pineapple detail in the front porches and think how pleasant it will be to sit and look over the scenic Mission grounds with the lake, Hospital Creek basin and lovely wooded areas. Step inside and find yourself in a sunny living room with 9' ceilings, wood floors and Federal moldings. A generous space, there's room for a dining table if you prefer more formal meals. A first floor bedroom is presently used as a studio but it's just right for overnight guests. The kitchen is a wonderful surprise with a vaulted and raftered wood ceiling, tumbled stone tile countertops accented by the plaster relief backsplash created by the artist in residence and cottage-style beadboard cabinetry to finish off the look. With an alcove for casual dining and a private deck right off the kitchen, these spaces will be the heart of your gatherings. Storage in old houses is generally rare so the large laundry room will be most welcome and it's handy to the side door off the pavered driveway. A small shady courtyard on the west side is fenced so you can store bikes and kayaks out of the way. Just before the stairway is the 1st floor bathroom featuring a lovely painted sink set in sunflower yellow rustic tiles and a skylight provides natural light all day. Upstairs the master bedroom spans the width of the house and enjoys its own porch. Configured in two sections allowing for sleeping on the east side and a sitting area on the west. Wanting more closet space, the owner installed an imported Italian stairway leading to the conditioned 3rd floor which is used as a closet (it's a tight fit for someone tall, but quite workable). A small guestroom or office is at the top of the stairs and a beautiful full bath serves both upstairs bedrooms. With no grass to mow, you can indulge yourself with container gardening and enjoy the greenspace offered at the Mission. Thoughtfully renovated in 2001 by a custom builder, the fruits of his labor are yours.
