This 1930s Tudor retains its unique 'storybook' character with original features like soaring barrel ceilings, coved accents, and a classic brick fireplace, offering a soulful alternative to modern flips.
The detached garage features a vaulted ceiling and provides a prime opportunity for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) conversion, complemented by a generous side yard with mature fruit trees.
With only one bathroom serving the entire home, the layout may be a significant drawback for families or buyers accustomed to modern multi-bath configurations.
At just 1,065 square feet, the interior space is relatively small for the price point, which may challenge buyers seeking more expansive indoor living or storage options.
