Description

One family has cared for this home for the past 100 years. This west-side Spanish-style fixer sits proudly on a spacious corner lot and offers timeless charm with endless potential. The main home features three bedrooms and one bathroom, a welcoming living room, and a dining area that opens to the kitchen — ideal for everyday living and gatherings. A detached one-bedroom, one-bathroom casita, converted in the mid-1950s, provides excellent flexibility — perfect for guests, extended family, or potential rental income. The expansive lot is graced with mature grapevines, fruit trees, and an additional storage building, offering room to garden, entertain, or even explore the possibility of adding another ADU in the future (buyer to verify).

Supplements: Dual pane windows, newer heat & air in the casita, and all new interior paint. Recently enhanced by the Westside Community Paseos Project, the street now benefits from a landscaped traffic diverter, making the area calmer and peaceful. While the property is ready for updates, opportunities like this are rare. Close to parks, schools, and shopping, this is a truly special chance to restore and re-imagine a classic home that's never before been on the market.
