Welcome to Villa Perla an ultra quiet, tranquil townhome community w/plenty of comfortable charm and lots of secret garden ambiance. Nestled down a private drive off of Oceanview Ave. on the estate grounds of a historic turn of the century home, it is a surprising island of serenity tucked right in the heart of a great Eastside neighborhood. If you didn't know it was there, you would never find it. Live blissfully off the beaten path just a short stroll away from Shoppers Corner, Buttery, Whole Foods and the bevy of eastside eateries. This 2br, 1.5ba, 1100sf end unit has been nicely updated w/new paint, floors, contemporary lighting and open kitchen w/expansive butcher block counter. The large, extremely private yard is fully fenced and has room to relax, play, garden or commune with nature. There is also covered and dedicated parking adjacent to the front door. This is a small well-run development with a nice community vibe and reasonable HOA dues. This is a great chance to get into the market. Perfect location and the price is right.
