Rarely do character homes like this come onto the market, and this stunning Arts &#38' Crafts residence is a true gem. Celebrating its 103rd birthday, this home still retains many of its original architectural details and is being offered for the first time in over 50 years. Nestled on an oversized, wide lot along a picturesque pine tree-lined street, this property offers endless potential.
A detached studio unit (can be an ADU) with a small kitchenette and bath (permits unknown) provides additional versatility, along with a separate laundry room shared with the main house. The detached 1-car garage features a paver stone driveway, adding to the home’s timeless appeal. One of the standout features is the spacious covered front porch, which spans the width of the home—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the serene surroundings. Another good feature is PAID OFF Solar Panels helping to save on electricity bills!
Inside, the home boasts original hardwood floors, a formal dining room, and a spacious square kitchen, offering endless possibilities to be transformed into a true chef’s dream. The layout includes two bedrooms on the north side sharing a hall bath, plus a third bedroom (not on title but a wonderful benefit/bonus for the new owner), with an adjacent bath and shower.
