Let your dreams be ignited! 0.4 acres lot with an organic garden and a chicken coop just waiting for the perfect owner. Built in 1936 and went through a dramatic rebuild in 2011, except for part of the foundation and retaining wall. This two story rancher has 2 separate entrances, each with a great floor plan that orients itself to the outdoors space. The land has seemingly endless possibilities that could be envisioned with a pool, bocce ball courts, a garden... The side yard has an outdoor kitchen, perfect for alfresco dining, the half circle driveway offers ample space for parking, and leads to a 1 car garage with interior access. Upper floor has a great room with a completely remodeled kitchen white cabinet & carrera marble countertop, the living area has a concrete fireplace, and vaulted, beamed ceilings and large picture windows, 3BR/2BA. Lower floor has a large family room with a concrete fireplace, a wet bar, 1BR/1BA. Nearby parks & trails; about 5 min to HWY80.
