[ SOLD for $445,000 on 9/27/2018 ]  Insanely charming 1938 bungalow with curb appeal and a whimsical backyard ideal for entertaining and relaxation, situated on a street with other gorgeous homes which overlook the Victoria Country Club.

Three bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, 1812 sq ft, with updated kitchen with dishwasher and stainless steel appliances (frig negotiable). Ultra elegant living room with fireplace and gorgeous hardwood floors. Formal dining room opens into the family room, yet can be closed off for privacy by the French doors.

In addition to two large main floor bedrooms, there is also a permitted second story loft (which could be used as a 3rd bedroom), AND a basement with fireplace that could be a 4th bedroom if needed (or used as an office or game room). There’s also an electric laundry elevator.

The main bathroom has been gorgeously remodeled and there’s also an adorable half bath off the kitchen. The 4-ton HVAC system is only 6 yrs old, including duct replacement. Electrical panel was updated to 200 amps, and there’s also blown-in insulation.

The backyard is exquisite, with a lighted gazebo, 2,400 hand-laid used bricks, fruit trees (avocado, papaya, apple, grapefruit, tangelo and peach), a fountain, and a very nice shed (with electric) that the prior owner used as an office (simply install a window A/C unit for comfort). Lot size is 8,276 (.19/acre). A 1.5 car garage with double wide driveway by garage to accommodate approx 4-5 cars total.

Walking distance to Poly High School and the Victoria Country Club. Great neighbors. This home is going to fly off the shelf, so don’t hesitate to make an appointment today.
