About This Home

As of June 2025

Once upon a time...
This idyllic charmer located in the historic district of Bixby Knolls will captivate your heart. Nestled on a peaceful street fringed with trees, it boasts a thoughtfully designed English garden with greenery, roses and flowers. This 1928 gem offers a fantastic addition of an enclosed patio with plenty of windows. You can sit and enjoy the flora and fauna all year round from this unique space. The side entrance offers another element of privacy. Beautiful hardwood floors flow throughout the living, dining and bedrooms, bringing warmth and that feeling of home. The comfortable living room is positioned close to the kitchen perfect for gatherings. In the full bath you will find penny tiled floors and subway tile, again bringing the character of a beautiful era. The 1920's architecture lends a hint of glamour that is rarely seen today with elegant coved ceilings that add nice elevation. The kitchen is often the heart of a home and with the carefully maintained vintage appliances you will find here, anyone can transform into a chef or a baker (Think of the content you could produce!). The 2 bedrooms are cozy, inviting and quiet. The only neighbors are on your sides as one of the qualities of this perfect home is its street-to-alley lot of 4,785 square feet. This lends to the calm and serene atmosphere you will find at this property. What else makes this residence a diamond - the enchanting backyard. It would be hard not to sleep some nights out under the stars. It was carefully planned with a generous lawn for children, pets, relaxing or a wonderful barbecue. Along the back side of the house there is a perfect spot for a giant wood barrel or copper hot tub. If you surf or you just like to garden and get your hands in the earth, there is a wonderful outdoor shower along the back of the detached garage (potential ADU opportunity) - it is a little hidden treasure and so convenient. The use of plants in this garden oasis attracts songbirds, hummingbirds and butterflies. If you dream of having raised garden beds, there's plenty of room. The front yard, backyard and concrete areas were updated within the last two years. New windows were put in the bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, and living room. There is central heating and air throughout the home and new electrical, including lighting. A new roof was also installed in October of 2024. This single family residence is a must see beauty with nostalgic charm that will capture your heart.
