Sleek and streamlined with contemporary Craftsman appeal, 6605 Toledo Street maximizes space and style throughout its three-bedroom/two-and-a-half bath, well-thought floorplan. A mature oak-shaded front flower bed with sprinkler system at right instills lasting curb appeal, and an interior alarm system bolsters peace of mind.
A two-car private drive insures convenience, flexibility and a special arrival welcome beneath its protective overhang at the fancy, paneled garage door. 
Make that grand, gated entrance, sweeping through the wrought iron front gate and down the herring bone brick walk. A trio of carriage lights trumpet an introduction. Halfway in is the front porch cut in, or amble further along, straight to the backyard.
A modern approach to the signature Craftsman-style front door with six-light pattern and extra-tall dimensions signals of period features to come. Recessed LED lighting illuminates the porch and a faux overhang on the approaching sidewalk, not visible here. Past the porch inset the path continues to the back yard.
A showpiece of choice detailing, this Timbergrove area home brims with engaging features from its hardwoods and transom windows to its Carrera marble and classic, neutral finishes. This view delves into the collection of window shapes and into the charming back garden.
Richly-stained oak hardwoods create the baseline for an open plan living concept. Recessed lighting throughout the interior maintains clean design lines and emphasizes tall ceilings.
Another view of the food and dining portion of the ground floor highlights the fully loaded, home chef’s arena.
This gourmet’s domain captivates the culinary senses, clad in white with Shaker front cabinets and marble countertops with a subway tile backsplash. Classic pendant lights add ambiance to a hardworking island prep space. Storage options abound.
Stainless steel appliances, including a dreamy KitchenAid five-burner gas range and vent hood. Underlit cabinets brighten the Carrera marble countertops.
A wide and deep 50/50 under-window sink with chrome gooseneck pull-down faucet and sprayer teams up with an adjacent KitchenAid dishwasher to simplify clean up.
Bid farewell to crowded-cupboard dilemmas with this reach-in pantry and a dry bar alcove—both to the right of the refrigerator cubby—PLUS a walk-in pantry, at left but not visible from this angle.
Let’s take it all in. The calm piece of mind of floor to ceiling kitchen storage, which seems to stretch out both a mile high and a mile wide. Through the paneled door at right center is a convenient reach-in pantry while a spacious walk-in hides just beyond the opening for the refrigerator of your choice. 
Stash it away, your food stuffs, home keeping supplies and small appliances. This walk-in pantry--with uninterrupted built-in shelving on three walls and upward to full-ceiling height--holds everything. 
Another view of your colossal kitchen reveals the undercounter microwave nestled into the island and the arched alcove at far right that shelters the discreet powder room on the left and the dry bar, not seen here but opposite the half bath door.
It’s five o’clock somewhere. How about right here? With a geometrically inspired bottle storage rack and undercounter wine chiller and cabinet, this brilliant dry bar allots plenty of space for assorted beverages and their accoutrements. Just opposite on the left is the powder room.
Another view further celebrates the cocktail set up station. The marble repeats the material used in the kitchen and main and half baths.
This downstairs half bath, just off the kitchen and dining spaces, offers an extra-wide, rectangular undermount sink, vanity and cabinet below.
Gazing toward the back garden, fine architectural design lets the sunshine in through the array of back wall windows: French doors, with in-glass mini blinds, lustrous side windows and slender Arts and Crafts-era-like transoms.
This engagingly contemporary Craftsman home delivers on function and fashion, with hardwoods, transom windows and period-style millwork, such as chiseled details seen in the stairway newel post and railing. 
Cooled by a deep-toned ceiling fan, the space features dramatic window and light patterns and soaring ceilings with recessed lighting. Textural, solid oak hardwoods welcome entertaining and relaxation time in the living area.
A high-styled metallic awning shades the patinaed brick back patio.
The just-right-sized back yard is easily reached outdoors from the front gate, down the pavered corridor, or from inside through the French doors exiting the living area.
The petite but pleasant back garden is well equipped to thrive with flowers and plants. An in-ground sprinkler system irrigates the area.
Another view of the ground floor highlights the hardwood-treads of the two-tone stairway and other pleasing elements from corner to corner.
At the top of the stairs, a versatile bonus space awaits as a game room, office or playroom. Through the archway at right is the secondary rooms section of the second floor.
Nicely dimensioned and roomy, this area can dovetail dual functions: a lounge and a workspace; a play space and an exercise nook.
In addition to a high-functioning flex space, this floorplan provides a subtle privacy buffer to the main suite, accessed on the left, up two steps and down a mini hallway.
The owners’ bedroom fits a king-size bed with furniture and boasts two walk-in closets and an agile ensuite bath design. A picture window overlooks the pretty back garden.
Light and airy, this angle guarantees the square footage to accommodate multiple chests or armoires and a seating area.
Neutral Berber carpet warms the bedroom floor in the primary as well as in the secondary bedrooms.
Slim, double French doors open to the main bath. The door at right returns to the game room.
The primary suite displays a nimble bath layout with soaking tub and a glass step-in shower with pebbled floor tile and bench seating. Light gray, large-format floor tile and complimenting subway ceramics look sharp.
Abutting the soaking tub, one of two vanity stations blooms with storage and an elongated marble countertop for extra elbow room in the morning routine. Towel bars flank the vanity at left and beneath the transom window. One of the two walk in closets awaits.
Triple hang racks meet the ceiling in this walk-in closet that also offers tremendous shelving space and a long-hanging rack.
A wider bath view portrays the luxury look of soaring ceilings, recessed lighting as well as the second, wide-marble vanity station. The closed door at right enters the water closet.
Chrome Delta plumbing fixtures gleam around the bathroom and in the shower provide dual shower heads.
Bountiful hang space surrounds the second walk-in closet. Not visible but behind the door at left is a shelving tower.
Both secondary bedrooms boast large closets, neutral Berber carpet and ceiling fans. This front secondary bedroom enjoys two multi-paned windows, including this impressive large format design.
Another view of the front secondary bedroom shows the entry door. A walk-in closet within the room is not shown.
The secondary rooms wing of the upstairs shares a family friendly hall bath with a separate, shower/tub combo and toilet room and a polished travertine topped double vanity area. The wall-to-wall mirror affords a simultaneous moment of reflection for the whole family.
Towel rings bookend the vanity and cabinets, and drawers below are abundant. Chrome Delta sink fixtures pop.
White subway tile adds an ethereal quality to every bathing beauty’s experience, including here in this tub and shower combination. The toilet is at right, and this space is separated with a door from the vanity area allowing for family members’ concurrent but private use.
The middle secondary bedroom enjoys a reach-in closet, pictured behind double doors at right.
Wash and fold in a flash. This sensible laundry room allows for a full-size washer and dryer set side by side at right and above it, lots of storage. At left area double-hang racks topped by deep shelves provide folding and stacking stations.
A closeup of the laundry room’s double hanging and shelving wall produces two electrical sockets to accommodate small appliances or a charging station.
