Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a 1935 build that appears dated but functional. The presence of a floor furnace indicates an older heating system, and the kitchen and bathroom are described as 'practical' rather than updated. With an age of nearly 90 years and no mention of recent major renovations, the home requires modernization of systems and cosmetic updates.
Built in 1935, this home offers unique character and warmth typical of Spanish-style architecture, featuring a cozy living room fireplace that serves as an inviting focal point.
The backyard is thoughtfully improved with a pergola and a storage shed, providing functional space for outdoor entertaining, gardening, and additional storage needs.
The property includes highly convenient amenities for its size, such as a dedicated indoor laundry utility room and a private driveway for secure off-street parking.
At only 857 square feet, the compact footprint may be a constraint for growing families or buyers requiring more spacious living areas and storage.
The home utilizes a floor furnace for heating, which is less efficient and offers less climate control compared to modern central HVAC systems.
