This delightful Montavilla mid-century ranchalow packs a punch with its smart floor plan, location, and updated spaces that retain the vintage charm. The heart of this rock solid adorable home is a brick mid-century fireplace set into a homey knotty pine wall. Both bedrooms are spacious and bright and the updated bathroom is perfected tranquility. The newer kitchen is mid-century period perfect and cleverly designed to be a 5 butt kitchen if the need arises. It’s both spacious and cozy with tons of cabinet space and countertops, with room for a full size table for friends and loved ones to gather around.

Sliding doors in the kitchen are a portal into a magic land of earthly delights beginning with the covered patio draped in fragrant jasmine and outfitted with a hard-wired heater and chandelier for a 4-season outdoor living room. The lush backyard is a plant lover’s and pollinator’s paradise. Full of native and drought tolerant plants, it’s a low maintenance urban sanctuary and wildlife habitat serenaded by songbirds and frequented by iridescent hummingbirds. Raised beds and paths lead to intimate spaces beckoning exploration and relaxation. Established perennial edibles include raspberries, asparagus, figs, marionberries, strawberries, olives and herbs. And the best part is with the irrigation system it’s easy to just set it and forget it. The attached garage has a utility/laundry room and a loft space that’s perfect for storage and has potential to be creatively transformed into an office or bonus space.

The home also features central a/c, a newer furnace, newer windows, newer electric panel, updated plumbing, an 8 HES and more. Sewer is cast iron, no oil tank and low radon.
