Situated just a short stroll from Sierra Madre's downtown village, this property offers exceptional walkability and convenient access to local shops, cafes, and community amenities.
Despite its historic 1900 origins, the home features high-end functional upgrades including a 200-amp electrical panel, EV charger, newer HVAC system, and a whole-house water filtration system.
The exterior is optimized for low-maintenance enjoyment with artificial turf, drought-tolerant landscaping, and a newer fenced deck that provides private outdoor space with mountain views.
With only 722 square feet of living space, the interior footprint is quite small for a two-bedroom home, which may limit its appeal to buyers seeking more spacious accommodations.
The 2,514 square foot lot is relatively small for a single-family residence, offering minimal yard space and restricted potential for future structural expansions.
