Property Description

Welcome to Riverside/Avondale living — tree-lined streets, parks, coffee shops, and river breezes — with the rare bonus of big-ticket upgrades already taken care of. The main home offers 2,364 sq ft across three levels, featuring 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with beautifully preserved character throughout. Even better, there's a separate 306 sq ft guest house with a full kitchen and bathroom — ideal for in-laws, guests, a studio, home office, or potential rental opportunity. Major improvements include a new roof with underlay and deck boards (2022), new upstairs HVAC (2022), new back house HVAC (2025), tankless gas water heater, and 30A electrical service in the driveway — perfect for RVs, EV charging, or a workshop. Gas is already plumbed for a future fireplace, generator, or outdoor grill. Outdoor living shines with an IPE hardwood deck and stone paver patio. A new water softener (2025) adds everyday comfort. All the charm you want — with the expensive updates already done.
