About this home

Sweet and sunny single-story bungalow on an adorable street in Maxwell Park! Huge upside potential. The home is slightly elevated from the street level which enhances privacy. 2bd/1ba plus an office space and an enclosed porch. Very charming 1918 home has retained much of its character with beautiful millwork, built-in cabinetry and oak and pine wood floors. The interior is freshly painted with updated light fixtures. The living room has large, classic windows and a cozy brick fireplace. Spacious kitchen opens to a private backyard with a large patio and the opportunity for a lovely garden. A detached, single-car garage offers excellent storage potential, plus the home has a basement with tons of storage. The laundry room is attached to the main house for easy access. Close to Mills College at Northeastern University, 580 and 13 freeways, and shopping in the Laurel district.
