Situated in the sought-after Upper Dimond area, the home offers excellent proximity to popular dining in the Laurel District and outdoor recreation at Dimond and Joaquin Miller Parks.
With only one bathroom serving two bedrooms and a bonus space, the layout may present challenges for households requiring more privacy or convenience.
At just over 1,000 square feet, the interior living space is relatively small, which may limit appeal for buyers seeking more expansive indoor areas.
