Set on a corner lot, the property offers rare flexibility with a detached two-car garage, side-yard access, and a large sliding gate for RV parking. The backyard is a delight with a sweet brick patio and lawn area, plus a shed for extra dry storage. With newer windows, fresh paint , this home offers the charm of the past with the convenience of modern living. Located near top-rated schools, parks, and endless recreation, this is downtown Livermore living at its best!
