A welcoming front porch overlooks a beautifully landscaped yard with mature trees, colorful flowers and established shrubs, creating an inviting place to enjoy morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. Inside, the spacious living room features wood flooring, coved ceilings, rich wood trim and a substantial fireplace that serves as a striking focal point. Expansive wood-framed windows across the front fill the interior with natural light while showcasing the craftsmanship of its 1920s design. Two arched openings connect the formal dining room with the surrounding living spaces, enhancing the open, connected feel. From the dining room, the floor plan continues into an enclosed sunroom offering flexible space for a home office, reading nook, creative studio or sitting room. The generously sized kitchen has been thoughtfully updated while retaining details that complement the home's original character. Plentiful cabinetry provides excellent storage, while glass-front display cabinets and a built-in plate rack add function and charm. Granite countertops, tile flooring and a skylight complete the space. A large kitchen window overlooks the rear deck and yard, visually connecting the kitchen with the outdoor entertaining areas.

The primary bedroom features its own fireplace, recessed lighting, a stepped tray ceiling and glass-block accents that introduce additional natural light. A direct exit from the primary bedroom opens to the rear deck, extending the living space outdoors. The fourth bedroom also opens to the deck through a charming Dutch door. The rear yard is framed by mature landscaping that complements the home's Spanish-inspired architecture, including an orange tree that adds another layer of charm. Multiple outdoor areas include a deck, grassy and paved areas ideal for seating, dining enjoying the sun or entertaining. A detached three-car garage provides substantial parking, storage and alley access.
