[ SOLD for $439,900 on 12/27/2018 ] Step back in time with this lovely home built in 1963 by Harry Marsh, located a stone’s throw from the historic Wood Streets (most people even consider this to be the Wood Streets, but technically it’s not).
This three bedroom (including two master suites), 2 bathroom home, just under 2,000 sq ft, sits on a corner lot and has been lovingly maintained over the years, yet with today’s conveniences like updated windows, window shutters, composition roof, central air/heat, dishwasher, attached 2.5-car garage, and RV parking.
In addition to the living room which is quite spacious, with a fireplace and lots of natural light, there’s also a formal dining room (with hidden storage — try to find it by pressing on the wall), and separate indoor laundry room. The third bedroom is currently being used as a large family room, but can be blocked off for privacy by using the double pocket doors.
The 10,019 sq ft (.23/acre) lot boasts automatic irrigation, citrus trees, mature shade trees, pleasant landscaping, a covered back patio, and a rose garden, as well as a shed and privacy block wall along the back and side of the property. The 2-car garage is over-sized and has plenty of room for storage and a work area.
The wallpaper will have to go, but the charm and solid architecture are here to stay!! Quiet little pocket of homes with great neighbors, and walking distance to Bonaminio Park. Plenty of time to close escrow, move in, and entertain for the holidays!

Well-maintained home by an older couple for over 40 years.
Broader view of home with wide driveway and rose garden off to the side which could be razed for even more parking, if needed.
This corner-lot property has a nice side yard as well.
Front entry
Large living room with fireplace and lots of natural light with view into the 3rd bedroom which is currently used as a family room (complete with double pocket doors for privacy).
Nothing like a cozy fire during the cooler months. Perfect corner window for a Christmas tree too.
Third bedroom (currently being used as a family room) can be made private by the double pocket doors.
Front entry view into the formal dining room with sliders overlooking the private back patio.
Formal dining room with hidden compartments for glassware, etc. on left wall. Press the wall and the compartments will open.
Okay, so the wallpaper and stove are dated, but that’s an easy fix!
Spacious laundry room overlooking the driveway, and to the left is the front bedroom’s bathroom that is accessible by the bedroom and the laundry room.
First of two large master bedrooms, with large closet and attached bathroom.
Front master bathroom.
Long hallway with huge bank of drawers and cabinets for linens and things.
Second master bedroom on the back side of the house with another window out of camera’s view, with an attached private bathroom. The carpeting is clean, just has indentations from furniture.
Aside from the wallpaper and pink original tile (in like-new condition), this bathroom is very spacious with a large vanity and a huge closet.
Covered patio with doorway to over-sized 2-car garage. Block wall between the yards offers plenty of privacy.
Back corner of yard on left side, with citrus and walkway around the shed. Perfect as a dog run or extra storage.
