With 1,128 sq ft of cozy, light-filled living space, original hardwood floors, a partial basement, and a private, fenced, flat lot, this home is full of character and comfort. Enjoy a low-maintenance yard surrounded by towering redwoods and nature, plus plenty of off-street parking-a rare find in this area. Whether you're relaxing at home or stepping out into the neighborhood, everything you need is within reach.
