Tucked within a darling community of single-family homes on cul-de-sac streets, this special property has been lovingly held by the same family for 60 years and offers exceptional potential to create something truly your own. An inviting opportunity to build sweat equity, the home provides a wonderful canvas for personalization and transformation into your dream residence. An expansive front yard features lush green grass, manicured hedges, and a charming neighborhood little library that reflects the friendliness of this neighborhood. A long driveway and stately brick walkway lead to a covered front porch and into the entry hall, which opens to the main living space. The living room is anchored by a brick fireplace and enhanced by sliding glass doors that open out to the private backyard. Flowing seamlessly into the dining room, the layout continues into a cozy breakfast nook defined by a classic spindle pony wall with built-in cabinetry. The kitchen enjoys a pleasant backyard outlook through a window above the sink and is well equipped with abundant oak cabinetry, an electric cooktop, oven, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and direct access to the laundry room, which leads outside. A quintessential midcentury breezeway connects the home to the detached two-car garage, complete with a paneled door and automatic opener. The garage presents strong potential for conversion to an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), ideal for extended family, guests, or rental income opportunities. The backyard offers a brick patio for outdoor entertaining, generous lawn space, flowering hedges, and elevated neighborhood views over treetops, creating a sense of openness and privacy. Back inside, a hallway with ample storage, including a coat closet and linen cabinetry, leads to the remodeled full bathroom with upgraded fixtures, a newer vanity, and a tiled tub and shower enclosure serving the living space as well as two secondary bedrooms. Your primary bedroom features an ample closet, charming window seat, and a dedicated ensuite bathroom. Additional improvements include dual-pane vinyl windows. Enjoy a remarkably private setting while remaining conveniently close to shopping, dining, parks, freeway access, and a short drive to the beach. This is a rare opportunity to create an ideal home in a truly sweet and established neighborhood.
