Inside, original small plank oak floors run through light filled living and dining spaces with fresh paint and recessed lighting. The remodeled kitchen features updated countertops, stainless appliances, updated cabinetry, and opens directly from the bar into a dramatic family room with exposed wood beams, tongue and groove ceiling detail, and a brick fireplace that anchors the space. Three bedrooms, an oversized updated bathroom with floor to ceiling tiled shower, and an attached one car garage complete the interior. Step outside to a covered patio with more custom brickwork, tiered landscaping, mature trees, privacy fencing, and an upper yard space ready for your vision. Detached living. Desirable pocket. Real backyard. The total package. WHAT WE LOVE (CONT…): 8741 Crockett Street blends preserved mid-century character with meaningful upgrades.
