This 3 bed/1 bath Spanish Mediterranean delights with its original wrought-iron light fixtures, arched picture window, and red tile roof. Sip coffee in the sweet breakfast nook with built-in cabinet or entertain in the formal dining room. Enjoy the freshly-painted interior, refinished hardwood floors, primary bedroom skylight, and bank of windows in the third bedroom. The back deck offers a tranquil respite under the canopy of a graceful oak tree. First time on the market in 48 years, this home is ready for your vision and upgrades. The huge basement connected by an interior staircase, offers great opportunity for expansion. An engineered, permitted partial-foundation replacement in 2008-09 makes this possibility more viable.
