Close-in convenience meets a surprisingly natural, tree-studded setting in this inviting, entry level home or investment. From the two west-facing, full-length decks, enjoy views of the surrounding greenery and the sound of birds, creating a setting that feels surprisingly removed from the everyday. And it's just moments from the trailhead entrance to DeLaveaga for hiking and mountain biking, the popular dog park, and just a short drive to DeLaveaga Park for picnics and outdoor recreation. The main living and dining areas sit on the upper level, creating a cozy space for gathering and entertaining. Here you will find open beam ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and convenient half bath for guests. Adjacent the two downstairs bedrooms, a handy laundry room with washer and dryer included, and a door accessing outdoor space with just enough room for a small veggie garden, playhouse or swing set. Recent updates include new carpets, plank flooring, and fresh interior paint. While the home offers a solid starting point, there is opportunity to update and personalize as our own, for buyers looking to build equity over time. Being the lowest-priced single-family home in the city, this makes for a compelling opportunity to enter the market while staying close to both nature and town.
