This 1921 Storybook Craftsman retains timeless period details, including original built-ins and a wood-burning fireplace, paired with a modern Chef’s kitchen.
The detached garage and generous driveway provide rare off-street parking and a significant opportunity for a home office or future ADU conversion.
At 3,952 square feet, the lot is relatively small for the area, which may limit yard space for buyers seeking extensive gardens or large play areas.
While the breakfast nook overlooks the yard, the lack of existing French doors and a deck means additional investment is required to achieve seamless indoor-outdoor living.
