About this home

PERFECTLY CHARMING and MOVE-IN READY! Character-rich Craftsman with gleaming wood floors, stunning tiled fireplace, original light fixtures, original vintage glass doors/knobs, coved ceilings. Warm, inviting, and full of SOUL. Main floor bedroom + two bedrooms and flex space upstairs offer easy living. Basement with separate entry, full bathroom, and wet bar/kitchenette offers so many POSSIBILITIES: home business, multi-generational living, AirBnB, or just expanded living and partying space? Both bathrooms have been updated with extra storage, new lighting, and classic tile. PEACE of MIND - updated electrical and plumbing, newer roof and all double-pane vinyl windows, new water heater, fresh insulation, and a mini-split for AC on warm summer days. A classic kitchen with quality oak cabinets, granite counters, and brand-new stainless steel range, microwave, and dishwasher. A bright sunroom leads to a brand-new composite deck overlooking a fully fenced yard anchored by a giant magnolia tree, Japanese maples, and camelias. Cedar privacy fencing in front and a two-car carport + more offstreet or RV parking accessed from the tidy alley. Plenty of space and new sewer line stub available for future DADUs. CLEAN and QUIET pocket with neighborly long-time residents all around! Lovingly maintained, thoughtfully updated, already inspected, and all appliances stay! This CLASSIC 1928 home is a rare gem that won't last long.
