Ample Storage & Utility: Includes a dedicated laundry area, attic storage, a backyard shed with electricity for additional storage or workspace, and a wide side yard with a carport for extra vehicles.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
Age of Original Structure: Built in 1910, the underlying structure is over a century old, which, despite extensive modern upgrades, may still present concerns for some buyers regarding long-term maintenance or unforeseen issues.
Proximity to Major Freeways: Its central location near Hwy 101 & 280 could lead to increased traffic noise and potential air quality considerations, depending on the exact distance from the property.
Limited Dedicated Outdoor Living: While there is a backyard shed and side yard, the description does not highlight a well-developed or private outdoor entertainment area such as a patio or landscaped garden, which some buyers prioritize.
