Welcome to 735 California Avenue West, a mid-century gem in the sought-after Como neighborhood! Great updates have been made just this year including fresh paint throughout, new tiles in the front entryway and kitchen, and all new carpet. Cool original features include mid-century shelving in the entryway, retro paneling upstairs, hardwood floors, and vintage tiles in the basement. The main floor is well laid out with nicely sized bedrooms, a full bath, a living room, and an eat-in kitchen. The large upstairs primary bedroom has two great closets, storage space, and a secret room. What will you do with the secret room? How will you use the awesome retro basement space? Only you can decide! All of this with solid mid-century steel beam construction and updated mechanicals within the last ten years.
