Charming move-in-ready Mid-Century home with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, open beamed ceilings and hardwood floors throughout. This home has a nice flow and feels cozy and comfortable. It’s been thoughtfully updated but still retains many original...
details. It is perched on the hillside over the 101 so there is street noise.
