Property Description
Move-in ready and full of Avondale charm, this special brick home sits on one of the neighborhood's most desirable streets. At the time of listing, it's the only home in Avondale or Riverside on the MLS offering this rare combination: a private pool, two-car garage with abundant off-street parking, and a loft-style ADU/garage apartment of approximately 400 square feet. The ADU offers wonderful flexibility for guests, extended family, band room, a college student, au pair, creative workspace, or potential rental income. And the best part? May 2026 appraisal came in at 740,000- instant equity! Major improvements include a brand-new sewer line, HVAC systems installed in 2023 and 2025, roofs replaced in 2012 and 2023, two new water heaters in 2025, updated plumbing, and the removal and replacement of all cloth wiring in 2025. Previous contracts didn't reach closing for reasons unrelated to the home's current condition. It's ready and waiting for its next chapter
