This home has everything you are seeking in University Heights! The gorgeous canyon views and beautiful outdoors space will delight your senses. Mature eucalyptus trees frame your vantage to the serene canyon from the bedrooms, kitchen, elevated deck, and back yard areas as birds welcome the day. Originally built in 1914 and renovated in 2014, this home has classic Craftsman charm with a great layout, including a formal dining room with built-in vintage cabinetry, a bright sunroom, and a cozy fireplace. Wainscoting, classic styling, original window framing, and a true front porch make this exactly the adorable and functional home you've been dreaming of! The sparkling fountain in the front yard greets you as you enter your new home. The old-world styling is combined with modern upgrades like remodeled bathrooms, air conditioning, newer hot water heater, and an exquisite kitchen with Viking appliances. The view deck overlooking the canyon was renovated in 2022. You have every convenience, including a large laundry room with newer washer and dryer. The family room has its own kitchenette, so that you can use the downstairs as the perfect guest suite, game room, exercise room, indoor theater, or media room!
