Pride of ownership shines throughout this beautifully maintained 1952 home, lovingly cared for by the same owner for three decades and now ready for its next chapter. Set on a prominent corner lot behind a charming brick-and-wrought-iron fence, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence blends mid-century character with genuine warmth and room to grow. Step through the distinctive stained-glass front door into a bright, open floor plan. The formal living room features rich wood paneling, a classic brick fireplace, and a sliding glass door that frames the sparkling pool beyond. A separate formal dining area with a wrought-iron railing overlooks the standout permitted bonus/family room — a showstopper with soaring vaulted wood-beam ceilings, a second floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, and an abundance of natural light. It's the perfect gathering space for everything from quiet evenings to lively celebrations. The galley kitchen retains its timeless appeal with solid wood cabinetry, tile countertops, and a breakfast bar that opens to the main living spaces. Three comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms offer flexible, single-level living. Out back, your private retreat awaits: a kidney-shaped pool surrounded by a spacious patio, ideal for Southern California indoor-outdoor living and summer entertaining. An attached garage and generous storage round out the home. Ideally located in the established and family-friendly Plaza neighborhood, you're just a short walk or bike ride to El Dorado Park, with easy access to shopping, dining, top-rated schools, and major commuter routes. Homes like this — full of character, original charm, and untapped potential — are a rare find. Come make it your own!
