Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1936, this home is meticulously maintained but remains largely dated. The listing highlights a 'vintage' kitchen and photos show older bathroom fixtures and finishes. While the electrical has been updated, the wood shake roof and interior styling suggest the property is functional but requires modernization to meet current standards.
Situated in the highly desirable Maple Park neighborhood of South Salinas, the property is located on a picturesque street within walking distance to top-rated schools and downtown amenities.
The home includes a 150 sqft finished attic and a 75 sqft custom playhouse, providing flexible options for a fourth bedroom, home office, or additional storage.
This 1936 cottage-style home boasts timeless charm with original hardwood flooring, a vintage stove, and meticulously maintained gardens featuring mature fruit trees.
Despite electrical updates, the 1936 construction may present ongoing maintenance needs or layout limitations common in older homes, such as smaller storage spaces.
A recent price reduction from the original listing suggests the property is still finding its market value relative to current buyer demand and local competition.
