Classic Charm. Graciously sitting back from the street on a 7200sf lot in the heart of Baywood, this property has high ceilings, adorned with gorgeous moldings, beautiful hardwood floors, and accents of true beauty. It also enjoys an easy floor plan for the contemporary family, with bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs on the same level. Not to be missed; the 920sf basement- perfect expansion possibilities!
