Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1924 but well-maintained and move-in ready. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and updated surfaces, the home includes modern air conditioning, and the interior shows significant cosmetic updates including refinished hardwoods and updated windows.
This 1924 storybook Tudor features timeless vintage details, including vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a dramatic front window that provides exceptional curb appeal and interior charm.
The lot includes mature fruit trees, raised garden beds, and a detached garage with workshop space, offering rare utility and a private oasis for gardening enthusiasts.
Unlike many homes of this era, the property includes air conditioning and a functional layout with an additional half bath, providing modern convenience without sacrificing historic integrity.
With only 1,154 square feet and two bedrooms, the interior space may feel restrictive for larger families or those needing significant home office capacity.
