At the front, a classic California Bungalow awaits restoration, featuring a welcoming porch, period details, original hardwood floors, and a decorative fireplace and built-ins in the formal dining area. The spacious kitchen includes a breakfast nook with built-in benches and convenient laundry area. With three bedrooms, ample closet space, and two bathrooms, the home offers plenty of space and comfort. The nicely sized backyard is peaceful with mature fruit trees and access to a detached garage, possible potential for an ADU. The rear unit, a thoughtfully upgraded one-bedroom, two-bath charmer, features a living room with a gas fireplace framed by elegant bookcases and a bonus room (with a closet) used as an office. The kitchen boasts quartz countertops, wood floors, stainless steel appliances, and opens via French doors to a beautifully landscaped backyard.
