About this home
Single Family · Built 1930 · Historic
Nestled on a spacious corner lot in a quiet Old Kelso Hill neighborhood, this luxury remodel offers city views just minutes from I-5. Enjoy fireworks or morning coffee from the sunroom, then step inside to a brand-new kitchen with butcher block counters and stainless appliances. Original picture-frame hardwoods shine alongside marble-look LVT in the kitchen and baths. The primary suite features new carpet and a stylish ensuite. Fresh paint, updated plumbing and electrical (with new panel), and a new roof offer peace of mind. The basement—with exterior access—adds ADU potential, and the detached shop with loft provides extra space for hobbies or storage. A rare blend of quality and charm!
