Property Description
Situated on tree-lined Garfield Avenue, this charming Craftsman bungalow seamlessly pairs historic soul with thoughtful modern upgrades.

Take in the fragrance of blooming jasmine and roses, while Meyer lemon, Key lime, Black Mission fig, and pomegranate trees offer an abundant harvest of fresh fruit. The property is further enhanced by a versatile finished garage/bonus space, complete with its own 3/4 bathroom, kitchenette with mini fridge and wine fridge, perfect for a creative studio space or home office. This 103 year old home has so much charm, character and modern comfort to offer its new stewards.
