Recently refreshed while keeping its original character, this gem of a 2 bedroom, 1 bath home is tucked in the quaint Samarkand neighborhood on Serena Road. This charming opportunity is ready for occupancy, or to be reimagined, and features beautiful hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, garage, and recently replaced roof, set on a generous 0.19 acre lot with underground utilities that may have ADU potential.
A Walk Score of 87 highlights the proximity to the vibrant upper De La Vina corridor, Trader Joe's, Handlebar Coffee Roasters, Los Agaves, MacKenzie Park, the Old Mission, hiking trails, and more.
