Inside, a brand new kitchen with a large island, gas range, herringbone backsplash and pot lights opens to the living room with its exposed wood beam. New bathroom, new flooring, paint, trim and fixtures throughout. Below is a 727 sq ft unfinished basement with a separate lower-level entrance, for storage or future ideas. Outside: covered front porch, newer back deck, fully fenced yard with garden beds, and RV/boat parking out front. Lane access at the rear, and the new OCP R5 zoning allows for a carriage house and much more.
