  Unique Mediterranean fixer opportunity

Homes with this kind of original character and design rarely come onto the market. Only two owners in its lifetime, this charming Mediterranean revival home is calling to its next owner to bring into this century. This unique property retains all its original 1930’s details; lighting, glass door knobs, and gum-wood doors, trim, and built-ins. Plus hardwood floors with inlay detailing, throughout most of the home. Some of the restoration has already been done which includes fresh interior and exterior paint. The original wood windows have been lovingly rebuilt to work effortlessly. The traditional floor plan features a formal dining room and separate breakfast room of the kitchen. A charming dressing room is adjacent to the primary bedroom which leads into the retro pink and black tile bathroom. Endless possibilities in the lower level with over 1,000 square feet. The space includes a “social hall” with hardwood floors and decorative fireplace, utility room, bathroom, partial second kitchen, plus a bonus room. Think ADU or space for extended family with its separate entry. Single car garage with access to the interior of the home provides plenty of storage and space for a workshop or second small car. Spacious backyard with mature camellia, magnolia, and apple trees. The lot provides expansion potential or the development of a garden retreat. Well located in Crocker Estates with Hwy 280 just a few blocks away. Mission street around the corner provides public transportation to wherever you need to go. If you desire a classic home with an abundance of charm and room to grow, do not miss this one!
