The spacious living room is filled with large windows that invite abundant natural light, creating a bright, airy atmosphere perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The home is wired for an alarm system, and a well-fed sprinkler system keeps the yard looking its best. One of the most inviting features is the open front porch with classic Greek columns - the perfect spot for morning coffee or relaxing evenings. With proper permits, it could even be enclosed to create a sunroom for additional living space. The large front yard is separated from the street by a concrete wall and gate, offering privacy and security, while the backyard provides plenty of room for gatherings, play, or creating your own private retreat. Architectural plans are also available to add a second floor, opening the door to exciting future possibilities (with proper permits, of course). Location truly shines.

Through the Stavros Soccer Team, he pioneered custom uniforms for women, helped establish one of the city's first competitive leagues, and was an early force in blending fashion with athletics. As a special closing gift, the buyer will receive a signed copy of his latest book, available on Amazon - a meaningful piece of the home's history to cherish.
