Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1952, this home is well-maintained but largely outdated. While it features a newer HVAC system and updated kitchen countertops, the property retains many aged elements including 1970s-style wood paneling, older kitchen cabinetry, and vintage bathroom fixtures. It is functional and livable but requires cosmetic and system updates to meet modern standards.
The detached 2-car garage and gated driveway provide a prime opportunity for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or guest suite, significantly increasing the property's utility and value.
Situated on a quiet street in a highly desirable neighborhood, the home offers proximity to top-rated schools, trendy shops, and major TV/music studios.
The spacious backyard features a grassy play area and an in-ground spa, creating an ideal environment for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.
