About This Home

As of October 2018

Curb appeal exudes from the outside & charm permeates throughout the inside of this Bixby Terrace home. Built in 1946, yet recently remodeled & updated throughout, this home is ideal for the most discerning of buyers. Entering through the front door, one is easily enamored with the open floor plan. The original hardwood floors glisten throughout the home. A focal point of the living room is the fireplace. The chef's kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, & a sit-in bar area. The dining area allows for entertaining & also opens up to the back yard ideal for indoor/outdoor living. All 3 bedrooms have light/ceiling fans & plantation shutters. The large master suite has an attached bathroom with double sinks, a tile floor & a shower with a granite bench seat. The second bathroom off the hallway also has tile flooring, a double sink vanity & a full shower/tub. There is a finished shed in the back yard where the current owners have set up a separate laundry room. The back yard has two distinct patio areas for dining alfresco. Other upgrades include new Milgard double pane windows, a new central HVAC system, new plumbing & an updated sprinkler system. This property is ready for the new owner to move right in & call it their own.
