More Insights

Built in 1932 (94 years old).
Condition: While major systems like the roof, plumbing, and HVAC have been recently updated (within the last year for the roof, and less than 10 years for the garage/primary suite addition), the interior of this 1932-built home is largely original and very dated. The kitchen features old wood cabinets, basic laminate countertops, dated tile flooring, and older appliances, requiring a full renovation. Bathrooms are similarly basic and outdated with old vanities and tile. Flooring throughout includes worn carpet and hardwood that needs refinishing. The listing itself describes it as a 'blank canvas' and 'designer's dream,' indicating substantial cosmetic updates are needed to modernize the property, though it is functional and has good underlying infrastructure.

About this home

Full of character and timeless charm, this Spanish-style home is nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street comprised exclusively of Spanish-style residences on large lots, showcasing true pride of ownership. Offering 1,700+ square feet of living space, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features generously sized bedrooms and a thoughtfully designed layout in a highly desirable area. Owned by the same family for 51 years, the home retains its original charm while benefiting from key updates, including a new roof less than one year old, updated plumbing throughout, and central air and heating. A permitted oversized primary suite was added alongside the construction of the oversized two-car garage, providing excellent space and flexibility. The garage, built less than 10 years ago, is ADU-ready with plumbing already capped—ideal for future expansion or rental potential. Additional highlights include a welcoming courtyard entry, a charming breakfast nook, a dedicated laundry room, and a long driveway leading to the oversized garage. This is a rare opportunity to transform a well-loved home into a designer’s dream. A true blank canvas in a prime neighborhood—bring your vision and make it your own.
