House Hack potential! Great opportunity for investors and first-time buyers—this home needs TLC to become the dollhouse it is meant to be; and it has several big-ticket items already done, including a newer roof in nearly new condition and double-pane windows. Convenient alley access with a gated driveway and a 2-car garage add flexibility, with potential to create a DADU in/above the garage (buyer to verify feasibility and permits). Inside, the carpeting has been removed—ready for new flooring and a quick cosmetic refresh. The home offers a spacious kitchen and an oversized laundry room with strong upside (possible conversion to a primary bath to boost value and improve layout). Outside, enjoy a fully fenced yard with a separately fenced backyard, plus a large patio with fire pit. Convenient location near bus lines, schools, shopping, and freeway access.
