Property Description

This wonderful home is the work of prolific mid Century developer and architect William Mellenthin, one of his 3,000 designs often described as "The birdhouse ranch" style house. With its iconic dovecote built prominently into the roof, the decorative shiplap siding and floor to ceiling picture window in the living room, this home has withstood its original charm. Lovingly maintained by the same owner since 1973. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a Den/Office, this home is full of potential with easy access to the best of the city. While situated on a busier street, the property maintains a sense of privacy, with a front yard buffer that offers a peaceful retreat and easy driveway access. Inside, a spacious hallway leads to the living room, where oversized windows frame views of the serene backyard, complete with fruit trees, a grassy lawn, and a sparkling pool. Living room floor plan allows for the perfect area for a formal dinning that comfortably sits 6 people. To the left of the entry, you'll find two cozy bedrooms, with the primary bathroom in between the two. To the right, the Den, with its warm wood paneling and fireplace, could easily serve as a fourth bedroom or office with its "hidden" closet blending with the wood paneling. Beyond the Den, a flexible bonus room with direct garage access provides a great option for a studio, guest room, or home office.The primary bedroom feels like a private retreat, overlooking the backyard with glimpses of the lush orange tree and pool. Featuring two closets and direct access to a covered patio, this space offers both comfort and convenience.

The kitchen, while modest, has plenty of cabinet space and retains classic Mid-Century details, adding character and functionality. Outside, the backyard is designed for relaxation and entertaining, with mature lemon and orange trees, a grassy lawn, and a private pool, creating a perfect sanctuary for outdoor living. The attached garage offers plenty of storage space and houses the washer and dryer. The home has retained much of its original charm, including vintage windows, while also benefiting from upgrades such as dual-pane windows, a newer pool pump, an updated electrical system, main wasteline replaced in 2012. It's important to mention the property has plenty of room for extra storage to add on each side of the building.
