One room with a private entry is currently utilized as a private office space.
Outdoor space is also plentiful. A large patio offers a venue to entertain or choose to play at the separate lawn and garden area landscaped with a mature and prolific avocado tree, lemon tree, and bordering foliage.
The home has been thoughtfully maintained, beginning with its charming curb appeal, front porch, lush lawn, garden beds, and mature shade trees. A long side-accessed driveway to the detached garage and backyard can also be easily gated for additional privacy.
Relish the beautiful re-varnished parquet and planked wood floors, dual pane windows, multiple builtins, ceiling light fans, recessed lighting, lots of storage, and the fresh interior paint throughout the open, and light-filled floor plan.
Generous gathering spaces include the living room and adjacent dining room warmed by a wood-burning fireplace and featuring a front-facing picture window and recessed lighting.
