Property is moderate renovation needed.
Originally built in 1938, this home is well-maintained but largely dated. While the bathroom is noted as updated, the kitchen is described as 'vintage' with a need for customization, and the basement images show older systems and utility configurations. Given the age of the structure and the 15-30 year feel of the primary living areas, it requires minor repairs and modern updates to meet current market standards.
Situated just off Lincoln Avenue, the property offers exceptional walkability to downtown Willow Glen's premier boutique shops, restaurants, and seasonal farmers markets.

With only 940 square feet of living area and a single bathroom, the home's compact footprint may be restrictive for growing families or buyers requiring a dedicated home office.
