More Insights
Built in 1951 (74 years old).
Condition: Built in 1951, this property is over 70 years old. While the description highlights 'well-maintained solid oak floors throughout' and a 'fully A/C and forced-air-heated home,' indicating good upkeep of some major systems and original features, there are no images of the kitchen or bathrooms. The description refers to the kitchen as 'comfortable,' which often implies functional but not modern or recently updated. The bedroom image shows an older style light fixture and built-in closet, consistent with the home's age and suggesting these areas have not undergone extensive recent renovations. The attic is an unfinished 'music studio,' not a fully renovated living space. Therefore, the property is aged but maintained, with functional systems, but likely requires minor updates to key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current aesthetic and feature standards.

About this home
Internationally known Musician and his wife have maintained this 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,292 sf home on a large 6,038 sf Lot. Too many features to mention, but the following represent the most worthy. The front is a drought-tolerant lawn planted by the sellers over 10 years ago. Upon entering the fully A/C and forced-air-heated home, you immediately notice the well-maintained solid oak floors throughout. In addition to 3 bedrooms, the seller built a private music studio in the front-to-rear full attic, roomy and high enough for him to stand and practice or convert into a game room, etc. Just beyond the comfortable kitchen with its own pantry is a laundry room, including a washer and dryer, and a back door to the patio, overflowing into the rest of the spacious backyard. Across the street is Valley Presbyterian Hospital. Worried about the noise factor? Their Emergency Entrance is a block away on the east side of the house, with its ambulance entry on the opposite side of the block. A spacious 2-car garage complete with a workshop. On the other side of the garage is an open space with its own private gate with room for 2 additional vehicles.
