In the heart of East Sac, this 2BR/1.5BA 1920s Tudor is a rarity: move-in ready, but loaded with future potential for the right buyer. Situated mid-block on tree-lined 38th Street, just 5 blocks from McKinley Park, it's close to shops, restaurants, and Mercy Hospital, and minutes to Midtown. The classic layout opens onto a bright, spacious living room with a fireplace, built-in window seat, and plenty of storage. Original hardwood floors extend throughout, including the dining room, featuring a built-in hutch. French doors open onto a sunny front patio that's perfect for morning coffee or an alfresco lunch. The oversized kitchen is laid out with serious cooks in mind, including a breakfast counter, cabinets galore, and lots of prep space. An adjacent laundry room and half-bath lead into the sizable fenced backyard, including a covered patio, bountiful apple and lemon trees, and detached shed. A large attic sets the stage for potential expansion, while the backyard offers the possibility of additional square footage and/or a pool. New roof and A/C installed in 2021. Interior fully repainted, bedroom hardwood floors refinished, and LVT flooring installed in the kitchen and bath in 2023. A must-see! Seller financing may be available.
