First time on the market EVER. Designed and built in 1953 by modernist architect Kenneth Lind, this single-level ranch home plus studio & garage rests on a sprawling 10,322 Sq Ft Lot in Valley Glen. Lovingly maintained, the home retains many of the original details that define its architecture. Functional layout begins with a formal entry way and 1/2 bath. Open Living & Dining spaces with sliding glass doors streaming in the natural sunlight. Spacious kitchen with eat-in area. 3 Generously sized bedrooms inc Master Suite w/ walls of closets & master bath. Fabulous wood beams throughout could not be replicated today and solid birch cabinetry and built-ins designed with quality and purpose. All additions done with permits inc. 576 square ft detached studio that could be a fab ADU. Huge 2-car garage with built-in storage. Grassy yard with an array of mature citrus trees. Desirable North Valley Glen, walking distance to shopping and transportation. A rare & special offering!
This single-level, residential home has lots of charm and needs a lot of TLC for a great potential. Huge lot size, with an abundance of storage space. Extra permitted room in the massive backyard. Two bedrooms share a full bathroom in the hallway....
Master bedroom is an en-suite with dual sinks and a shower only. Detached two car garage.
