1940s Bungalow in the desirable Santa Venetia neighborhood near the Civic Center, offering a peaceful setting with timeless curb appeal. A lush, manicured front lawn framed by ivy and a classic white picket fence leads to a welcoming front porch, perfect for enjoying the quiet surroundings.
The formal living room features a fireplace with decorative mantle and flows into a bright sunroom with skylights, creating a versatile space for relaxing or working from home. A laundry closet with washer and dryer hookups is conveniently located within the sunroom. Sliding glass doors open to a rear deck and the expansive backyard, creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection.
The dining area connects to a well-appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances including a gas range, dishwasher, refrigerator, hood fan, and ample cabinetry. Large windows frame views of the garden and fill the space with natural light.
Down the hall are three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite overlooking the front garden with an en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms are similar in size, each with ceiling fans. The hallway bath includes a shower-over-tub and extended vanity for additional storage. Updated light fixtures add a modern touch throughout.
The deep backyard offers a private retreat with mature landscaping, lemon trees and a storage shed, with ample space for entertaining, gardening, or relaxation. Additional features include a one-car garage with storage and a quiet location, close to parks, the Civic Center, and convenient commute access.
