About This Home
As of December 2015The BEST of both worlds - the old world charm of a 1920s California bungalow with the modern amenities of a new home. Featuring three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, this wonderful home has been substantially remodeled from top to bottom. Renovations include new plumbing, electrical, windows, central heating and air conditioning systems, and tank-less water heater. The remodeled kitchen and bathrooms offer the character of the period as well as the comforts of modern quality upgrades. The exterior features new landscaping as well as a new above-ground pool surrounded by redwood decking and enclosure. The home also includes some "green" additions such as a solar panel system, electrical car-charging outlet and drought-tolerant front landscaping. There are too many items to list! The home has never been lived in since being remodeled, so it will truly be a "brand new" home for its next owner.
