This property offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 1,253 sqft of living space on a 6,100 sq ft lot, with a functional layout that includes both a separate living room and family room for comfortable everyday living and entertaining. The home includes an additional 13' x 11'8" room in the garage, ideal for a home office, playroom, guest room, or flexible bonus space. Several valuable upgrades are already in place, including hardwood floors, dual-pane windows, copper plumbing, smooth ceilings and walls (no popcorn), central heating and A/C, and a kitchen featuring custom solid wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a gas stove. The backyard offers low-maintenance artificial turf and fruit trees, creating a pleasant outdoor space to enjoy. Solar panels with backup batteries provide energy efficiency, while the corner lot includes RV parking and potential space for a future ADU (buyer to verify). This home is owned by same family for over 60 years. Never rented. A wonderful opportunity in a great location with good bones and room to improve and make it your own.
