Presiding over a prominent corner lot, this distinguished American Foursquare - R2 zoned and set on an expansive 0.49 acres (21,235 sq ft) - offers both the primary residence and an income-producing attached guest house.

The home's classic, clean-lined architecture is enhanced by its timeless features: 2 stories, original wood floors, generously scaled rooms with 12-foot ceilings, and brightened by natural light from the expansive windows throughout the home. Front and back balconies further complement the home's innate character and create lovely views and spaces to relax and enjoy the surroundings. A full-length front porch welcomes you into a spacious entry hall that sets the tone for the home's warm and welcoming ambience. The fabulous farmhouse-style kitchen is a true highlight with extensive cabinetry, a 9-foot island with seating, and perfect flow into the formal dining area. The expansive living room is equally impressive, with a focal decorative fireplace and featuring French doors that open to the vast backyard. The home has three spacious and generously sized bedrooms on the second floor, all with windows to the outdoors, and there is a fourth bedroom tucked away on the half-story offering a space that could potentially be a guest room or home office. At the back of the property is a versatile shop equipped with electric service and water access; possibilities for hobbies, projects and/or storage. All appliances in the house, guest house and shop convey. Additional items include the original cistern (located beneath a china cabinet), a gas stove, and a newly replaced water heater (2025). This property also presents potential with options existing for a new owner to seek approval to subdivide the lot, with the city having already approved a curb cut on South Creek (buyers should verify all details with the city, prior to purchase). Beautiful architectural style, income from guest suite, and nearly half an acre in a desirable location-this property offers many opportunities for a new owner.
