Nestled at the corner of Carleton and Mabel, this vintage craftsman home built in 1920 offers timeless charm and exceptional potential. From the moment you step inside, you are welcomed by rich wood-paneled walls and gleaming hardwood floors in the foyer and the living room. This generously sized living room has large wood-framed windows overlooking the street, and beautifully crafted built-in cabinets. The elegant French doors lead to the formal dining area with an antique cabinet. The retro kitchen has a cozy breakfast nook – perfect for casual meals and gatherings with family or friends. The home features three well-appointed bedrooms accessed via a central hallway, along with a full bathroom thoughtfully located for convenience. There is an interior access from the laundry room to the downstairs garage, which opens to Mabel Street. It provides ample room for storage, too. The backyard offers endless possibilities – create a private garden oasis, entertain guests under the open sky, or grow your own vegetables. The property is located in a vibrant neighborhood with a short stroll to San Pablo Park, shops and restaurants, and easy access to the highway. With classic character and room to personalize, this home is brimming with potential!
