Property Description
Set among mature cedar trees on an oversized corner lot, this century-old farmhouse at 1503 Carmel Blvd offers character, space, and modern updates. Set back from a quiet road, the home features four bedrooms, two full baths, and hardwood floors throughout. The spacious primary bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and a walk-through dressing room with built-in storage along both eaves. The dressing room offers potential for use as a fifth bedroom. In the kitchen, 2023 updates include granite countertops, a new faucet, refrigerator/freezer, and oven. Newer lighting adds a fresh touch throughout the home. Spend summer evenings on the patio or around the fire pit in the large backyard, enclosed by a seven-foot privacy fence. An attached two-car garage provides direct access to the home from the private driveway. Strengthening works replaced the main supporting beam spanning the basement ceiling with a new steel 'I' beam and additional jack supports to replace the existing wooden beam. This work comes with a warranty from Acculevel that is assignable to the incoming purchaser. Whether you're looking for a place to call home or an investment opportunity, this distinctive Zion farmhouse is ready for its next chapter. Sold as-is.
