Property is new construction or fully renovated.
The property has undergone extensive recent renovations that align with current design standards. The kitchen is fully modernized with white cabinetry, stone countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and high-end stainless steel appliances. The interior features consistent wood-look flooring, recessed lighting, and designer fixtures. Although built in 1949, the home's systems and finishes—including the updated bathroom vanity and French doors—show no signs of deferred maintenance, making it move-in ready and virtually new in appearance.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 16119, living area = 1266.
Situated on a rare 16,119-square-foot canyon lot, the property offers exceptional privacy and significant upside potential for home expansion or the addition of an ADU in a highly desirable neighborhood.
The home’s elevated position provides stunning, unobstructed canyon and mountain vistas, enhanced by a dedicated view deck and seamless indoor-outdoor flow via large French doors.
The property contains three bedrooms but only one bathroom, which is a notable deficiency for a home at this price point and may pose a challenge for families or resale value.
With only 1,266 square feet of living space, the interior footprint is relatively small for a three-bedroom residence, potentially resulting in tighter room dimensions and limited storage.
Tucked away on one of Normal Heights’ most coveted streets, this exceptional canyon property offers a rare combination of privacy, scale, and sweeping views on over a quarter acre. Set above the canyon, the home captures a true sense of space and serenity—something seldom found in this central, walkable neighborhood. Inside, the single-level layout is designed for effortless living, with an open-concept floor plan that seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas. The beautifully updated kitchen features clean lines, ample cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, designer lighting, and a generous breakfast bar that flows naturally into the main living space—ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The layout lives larger than its footprint, with a natural flow that feels both open and inviting. Natural light fills the home, while large French doors frame picturesque greenery and canyon vistas beyond. The indoor-outdoor connection continues as you step out to an expansive backyard retreat, where lush landscaping, mature trees, a view deck, and multiple seating areas create a private setting to relax, host, and take in the views. The elevated positioning of the lot enhances both privacy and the overall sense of retreat. The property’s oversized lot offers endless potential—whether it’s expanding the home, adding an ADU, or creating a resort-style outdoor experience. All of this, just moments from the best of Adams Avenue—local dining, coffee shops, and neighborhood charm—while still feeling worlds away.
