About this single-family home
Enchanting split-level home in historic Idora Park, offering expansive non-living areas, including an enormous 2 level attic not included in the gross living area - perfect for your creative vision! Built on a four-square-block built on the site of the Victorian era amusement park in 1931, this lovingly maintained charmer boasts many significant architectural details from the vintage kitchen with original tile to arched doorways and elegant herringbone hardwood floors to a Juliet balcony in the primary bedroom. The owners loved afternoon tea with a round of scrabble in the breakfast nook and will miss the abundance of windows that suffuse the house with natural light. An expansive unfinished 2 level attic, a large basement with legal height ceilings a sunny bonus room and converted garage offer endless opportunities for expansion and a multitude of living arrangements. An inviting level yard with established fig and plum trees beckons relaxing, play and entertaining - a sweet pocket of nature within the energy of the city. This charming home perches at the intersection of Bushrod and Temescal neighborhoods, rich with dining, shopping and transportation options and is zoned for Peralta Elementary and Claremont Middle School (buyer to verify with OUSD).
