Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1949 but exceptionally well-maintained with a blend of historic charm and modern updates. The kitchen features newer stainless steel appliances and the home includes a recently updated HVAC system. While the kitchen and bathrooms retain a more traditional/dated style (tile countertops and pedestal sinks), the overall condition is move-in ready with functional systems and preserved original hardwood flooring.
Elementary School: McKinley Elementary School (9/10).
This 1949 Craftsman preserves its timeless appeal with original gumwood moldings and hardwood floors while offering modern peace of mind through a newer HVAC system and updated kitchen appliances.
Situated in the coveted Altadena pocket of North Park, the home is just 0.17 miles from the highly-rated McKinley Elementary School (Rating 9) and minutes from the area's best dining and nightlife.
Despite being beautifully maintained, the 1949 construction date suggests that underlying systems like plumbing or electrical may eventually require updates common to homes of this era.
The detached one-car garage may be restrictive for modern households with multiple cars or those needing significant secure storage space.
Beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath Craftsman in the highly desirable Altadena neighborhood of North Park, where timeless character meets modern comfort. This inviting home showcases an open, light-filled floor plan enriched by original architectural details, including rich gumwood moldings, hardwood floors, a striking fireplace, dovetailed French doors, and an abundance of windows that bathe the interior in natural light. The spacious kitchen features stainless steel appliances and flows seamlessly into the main living areas, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A newer HVAC system provides year-round comfort, while the detached one-car garage and extended driveway offer ample off-street parking. Set on a generous lot, the backyard presents endless possibilities for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or future expansion. Ideally located just minutes from North Park's renowned restaurants, boutiques, parks, and vibrant nightlife, with convenient access to downtown, Balboa Park, and everything San Diego has to offer. A rare opportunity to own a classic Craftsman that beautifully blends historic charm with modern convenience in one of North Park's most sought-after neighborhoods. This exceptional home is not to be missed.
