About This Home
As of April 2025Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street, this 1964 home captures the essence of mid-century modern design. With its hallmark simplicity and clean lines, the open concept living room’s focal point is a fireplace feature wall of warmly textured Lannon stone. Large windows fill the room with natural light, further enhancing the sense of openness. Rich hardwood floors flow throughout, adding continuity. Having been well maintained over the years, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers an inviting space with great bones, ready for its next chapter. Designed to accommodate a wheelchair user, the home features widened doorways and an accessible kitchen and bathroom layout. While these modifications ensure convenience for many, prospective homeowners who do not require these features may wish to update the kitchen and baths to suit their individual tastes or needs. The large garage with direct access into the kitchen, provides a practical layout for unloading groceries with ease. The garage also offers potential for a workshop or creative space. The front yard is filled with drought-tolerant California native plants, on a drip irrigation system. With its solid construction, original mid-century features, and stellar location, this home is the definition of "good bones".
