    What's special

    Three decksSpacious yardBackyard patioUnique mid-century detailsAbundant custom storage throughout
    Some houses are built with walls; others are built with memories, love, and joy. From the moment you step inside this well-cared-for three-bedroom, two-bathroom mid-century home, you can't help but imagine the celebrations, holiday gatherings, lively dinner parties, and quiet evenings with loved ones that have filled its rooms over the years. Unique mid-century details give the home warmth and character, while abundant custom storage throughout - including additional storage above the garage- adds exceptional functionality. Downstairs, you'll discover a versatile flex space ideal for movie nights, a home office, or an additional living area. A nonconforming fourth bedroom offers even more possibilities and is ready for the addition of an egress window. The bright and airy four-season sunroom is a welcoming retreat where you can relax and enjoy the beauty of every season. Outside, three decks, a backyard patio, and a spacious yard provide plenty of room for entertaining, gardening, or simply unwinding on a peaceful afternoon. An established array of perennial flowers adds effortless color and charm to the landscaping year after year. Located near Hanawalt Elementary, Merrill Middle School, and Roosevelt High School, the home also offers convenient access to freeways, shopping, dining, Frisbie Park, and historic Valley Junction. Lovingly maintained and filled with character, this special home is ready to welcome its next chapter, and all the wonderful memories still to come.
