Remarks

Located on an inviting block on Head Street, this well kept home offers period charm, landscaped outdoor space and expansion potential below. The main level opens to a generous, well lit living room with a wood burning fireplace and box ceilings. Freshly refinished parquet floors and original details carry a warm and inviting feeling. The living room opens to the formal dining room sized for a full table and entertaining. The kitchen is practical, efficient, and ready for your personal touches, with a breakfast nook and direct access to the backyard for an easy indoor outdoor connection. Two bedrooms are positioned on the main level. Fresh interior paint and updated light fixtures lend a clean, modern backdrop while honoring the home's original details. The primary bedroom enjoys a peaceful outlook over the garden. Downstairs, a generous bonus room with an additional bath provides flexible space for guests, a home office, or creative use. The expansive backyard has been freshly landscaped to feel private and serene. All of this is just moments from neighborhood shops, cafes, parks, and Stonestown, with easy access to major freeways for South Bay commuting.
