You'll love the wood floors, retro kitchen and the original bathroom tile-work in pristine condition. The good-sized living room looks out onto the vibrant neighborhood and features a hand-painted, one-of-kind custom mural that looks like wall paper!

The two car garage with access from the side street has ample room for parking in as well as workshop space or storage - or you might consider it for future ADU potential. Plus there is bonus storage space on the south side of the garage to keep your garden supplies, mower, and tools handy. Back inside you'll find several rooms have been freshly painted and the bedrooms are good sized for this era plus you'll appreciate the built in storage in the hallway as well as the indoor laundry room. The eat-in kitchen offers plenty of storage and the sale comes with the kitchen appliances.
