About this home
Single Family · Built 1951
Nestled on an expansive lot that gently slopes down to a serene creek, this home offers endless possibilities for remodeling, expansion, or simply enjoying its existing charm. Step inside to discover freshly painted interiors and exteriors, beautifully refinished hardwood floors, and a cozy kitchen featuring a brand-new gas stove and updated linoleum flooring. The hall bathroom boasts tile flooring, a separate tub, and a shower, adding both style and functionality. The downstairs space is a blank canvas waiting for your vision. With plumbing already in place for a full bathroom, it's perfect for transforming into a private 4th bedroom, an au pair suite, or even a guest retreat with its own living area. The possibilities are as vast as the lot itself. Outside, nature lovers will delight in the tranquil setting backing onto an open area with a meandering creek and abundant wildlife. And when it's time to venture out, you're just moments from convenient shopping, top-rated schools, and scenic hiking trails.
