Cute, cute Watsonville bungalow on a large and sunny lot! Plum, pear and apple trees adorn this big fenced yard where you can let your imagination roam for gardens, orchard, RV, etc! The house features a cozy living room with pellet stove, good size kitchen, three bedrooms, one car garage and utility/tool/work room. Manfre Rd is an excellent Watsonville location set between Larkin Valley and the airport, near to town but feels like country. Views of the greenbelt out your back windows and deck. Wonderful proximity to all the businesses around the airport and Highway 1. This property has much investor potential, will shine with a little TLC!
