All the charm of a North Park Craftsman, none of the North Park price! Built in 1930 and meticulously maintained since, this home still has the details that made Craftsman houses worth holding onto in the first place. Wood paneling lines the living room. The kitchen and dining room are wrapped in wood slat walls and ceilings. Original hardwood floors run throughout, and both bedrooms have double door entries. Off the kitchen you’ll find a third room, ideal as a home office, nursery, or third bedroom. The current owners kept the charm intact while updating what actually matters. There is a new dishwasher and new stove and oven, recessed lighting in the living room, a new furnace, and solar installed. A split unit AC in the bedroom handles the warm days without disturbing the home’s original character. The lot itself is generous, with grassy space out front and in back to spread out and enjoy. In the back, a covered patio sits under mature trees that have recently been maintained. There is also a former stable house, now a full-blown kids’ hideout, splashed in a bright custom mural that makes it feel like its own little world. ADU permits and design work are already done, so anyone looking to add space, rental income, or room for family has a head start. Homes like this do not come up often, and when they do, they usually do not last!
