Property Description

Offered for the first time in over 70 years, this 1918 California Craftsman presents a rare restoration opportunity in the Roosevelt Elementary attendance area. This 2BD/1BA trust sale retains much of its original character, including original windows, moldings, doors, built-ins, and period details throughout. The spacious living room features a fireplace, while the formal dining room showcases the original built-in buffet and china cabinets. The kitchen preserves its vintage tile, adding to the home's charm. One bedroom includes an adjoining office, den, or nursery that can easily be opened for direct access to the brick patio. A covered front porch captures peek ocean and island views, while the rear flagstone patio and garden provide inviting outdoor space. All inspections are available. This is a significant project, but for the right buyer offers exceptional architectural character and the potential to create something truly special. Trust sale; shown by appointment only--do not disturb occupant.
