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.

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.
