This 1932 historic Spanish-style residence is move-in ready and has been meticulously maintained with tasteful modern updates, including new double-paned windows. While it retains its original architectural charm and craftsmanship, the integration of contemporary livability features and well-preserved systems places it in the 'good' category.
