Property Description
Welcome to this charming, 1960s split-level home—a perfect blend of nostalgia and opportunity! Lovingly maintained, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom gem invites new owners to create their own cherished memories. Tucked in a serene setting, the home comes with two additional vacant lots, each just under half an acre, ideal for gardening, expansion, or future investment.
Inside, the lower level is cleverly designed as a self-contained apartment with a private entry. Complete with a kitchenette, a cozy family/dining area, a full bathroom, and a bedroom, this space has a proven track record as a short-term rental, offering great potential for added income or multi-generational living. Outdoors, you'll find a backyard oasis featuring a sparkling pool, a cabana with a bar area, and a tranquil goldfish pond surrounded by lush, flowering plants. The screen porch doubles as a cozy sunroom in winter, with an adjacent workshop featuring a roll-up garage door, making it easy to work on projects with views of the garden and nearby lot. The home awaits a few updates, but it's full of character and ready for you to enjoy as-is or personalize to make it your own. Embrace the charm, invest in the land, and experience the possibilities this delightful property offers!
