Love this adorable Montavilla farmhouse, recently updated inside and out! Lovely hardwood floors throughout the living room and formal dining room. Three bedrooms, including a large main level primary. Upper level features two additional bedrooms and an updated bathroom with a huge walk in shower and claw foot tub flooded with natural light. The newly updated kitchen is a showstopper featuring new quartz countertops, an island with tons of counter and storage space and a beautiful tile backsplash. Brand new stainless steel gas range and hood vent. Step out of the kitchen onto the back deck overlooking the spacious yard, a blank canvas ready for your personal touch, fully fenced. Full size unfinished basement is great for extra storage. Wide side by side driveway with ample parking space and the perfect covered porch to enjoy on summer evenings. Nestled in the highly desirable Montavilla neighborhood, you will be surrounded by activities, shopping, hiking, restaurants and farmers markets, with easy access to freeways and transportation.
