So Much Opportunity! Located in most desirable Lower Rancho area of Arcadia, this Home requires just enough work to make it your Own! The Bones appear Good and Strong - it's the "skin" that needs some work. Expose and Shine Up the Hardwood Floors, remove some Wallpaper, Brighten the walls with a fresh coat of Paint, maybe Update the Kitchen and Baths and VOILA, you have a Masterpiece! The Formal Entry has a large coat/storage closet and opens to both the Living Room with corner Fireplace and the Formal Dining Room. The Large Family Room features a Flagstone Fireplace with seating and an Awesome Flagstone Wet bar complete with sink and stove - imagine the Entertaining! This room, and the Huge Master Suite, have views of, and opens to, the pool in the back yard. The step-up Master Bedroom has four closets, a dressing area, skylight and 3/4 Bath with Double Sinks. Bedrooms two and three share a very spacious Full Bath with separate Tub and Stall Shower in the Hall. The Half Bath has extra Storage and is conveniently located near the Kitchen and Family Room. There is a Breakfast Area and Lots of Windows in the Spacious Kitchen. The Yard . .. . OH! the Yard! The Pool is Heated/Filtered and has a Diving Board; there are Three Covered Patios; Fruit Trees (including a Wonderful Avocado Tree!) and easy care Landscaping. The Double Garage houses the Laundry and Storage and there's also a Two-Car Carport and an Electric Gate across the Driveway. Great Bones, Great Location, Great Schools!
