Description
Siiiiigh… I can feel it from here. The late-night Zillow scrolling. The quiet whisper to yourself: “Why is it so hard to find a normal, single-story house that doesn’t feel like it was designed by a committee of robots?” Well… take a breath. Because this one just raised its hand. Built in 1969, back when houses were built like houses and not like temporary suggestions, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,507 sq ft classic is sitting confidently on its corner lot like it still remembers when it was the nicest house on the block… and frankly, it still might be. Inside, the rooms are big, the flow makes sense, and yes… the original Brady-Bunch-era oven is still there… still working… still waiting for someone named Alice to slide out a perfectly golden turkey while Greg and Marcia argue about something extremely important. It’s not old… it’s legendary. Step out back and you’ll be instantly transported to a time before Wi-Fi passwords and TikTok algorithms… when Saturdays meant sprinklers, BBQ smoke, and that one uncle who somehow always smelled like aftershave, cigars, and life advice. Two massive shade trees anchor the backyard, creating the perfect setting for summer evenings, birthday parties, or just sitting there doing absolutely nothing… which, as it turns out, is still one of life’s greatest luxuries. The updated dual pane windows and slider even have Solar Screens to keep the heat outside where it belongs. Speaking of sprinklers, these babies are automatic; no more watering the lawn with a garden hose. The 8,293 sq ft lot gives you room to breathe. The covered patio is ready for year-round lounging. And the oversized 2-car garage has plenty of space for your cars, your tools, and those mysterious storage boxes you’ve moved with you for 17 years and never opened. And let’s talk about everyone’s favorite four-letter word: HOA. Yeah… there isn’t one. Not here. Not today. Not ever. Freedom lives here. This isn’t just a house. It’s a time machine with good bones and a great attitude. If you’ve been waiting for something with character, space, and soul… this is your sign. Put it at the top of your list. Your future self…the one sitting in that backyard with a cold drink and zero regrets…will thank you. Have your people call my people. We’ll open escrow and make history.
