Property Description
A covered front porch framed by graceful arches welcomes you the original French door opening into a warm and inviting living room featuring a gas fireplace, original crown molding, and built-in bookcases and curio cabinets. The kitchen offers newer appliances, new flooring, oak cabinetry, tile countertops and backsplash, a casual dinette area, and direct access to the backyard. The home features two surprisingly spacious bedrooms for a residence of this vintage, with new flooring in the bedrooms and hallway and a convenient hall linen closet. The beautifully remodeled bathroom features a shower over tub, handsome Spanish-style tile, pedestal sink, and additional built-in storage.
Out back, a large covered patio and entertainment area with built-in barbecue and sink creates an ideal setting for outdoor dining and gatherings. For generations, this backyard has been the setting for family celebrations and parties accommodating large groups -- a tradition the next owner can easily continue.
The property provides parking for up to three vehicles plus a carport. The original garage was converted many years ago and currently includes a laundry area, bathroom with shower, and additional exercise/office/craft space, offering intriguing possibilities for future use. Buyers may wish to investigate the potential for permitting or conversion to an ADU.
A separate detached structure provides even more flexibility and could make an excellent workshop, art or craft studio, exercise room, or private home office.
Mature producing fruit trees, low-maintenance drought-tolerant landscaping, fresh interior and exterior paint, dual-pane windows, a new wall heater, and updated hardware add comfort and convenience, while carefully preserved original fixtures and architectural details retain the character that makes this home special.
After more than six decades in the same family, this beloved Westside property is ready for its next chapter.
