About this home
Single Family · Built 1939 · Historic
This home is ready for you to make it your own! Located on a quiet street in the North Highlands neighborhood, you'll notice pride of ownership all around you. It is just two blocks away from Hamilton Park and a short 5 minute drive to downtown. As the weather gets warmer, the garage and fenced yard are a huge perk, giving you space for summer gardening or creating a safe area for kids or pets to enjoy. The 3-seasons porch is a great spot for meals outside. The partially finished basement gives some additional living space and all appliances, including the washer and dryer will remain. Some original character remains with chair rail, hardwood floors and glass knob hardware. This home has been deep cleaned with several recent repairs and upgrades to make it move-in ready, while still being priced so you have the ability to do cosmetic upgrades. Stop by to see if this one is for you!
