Tucked away in a little-known enclave of charming homes, across from Downtown Sunnyvale, sits this adorable craftsman that not only offers move-in condition and is ready to love, but also offers ample potential for expansion or remodeling. Just some of its features include: a front sitting porch under the shade of two majestic trees, a sunny front living room with a focal point fireplace offset by a set of windows viewing the lovely [WIDE} side yard, a formal dining room with a glass door opening to the side deck, stunning remodeled kitchen with a plethora of cabinetry, including built in pantry cabinets, double oven, gas stove top and SS sink under garden window. Two nice-sized bedrooms and a centrally located hall bathroom with a fancy shower-over-tub. As an extra bonus, a previous owner added on a back party room with basement access, a second bathroom, and a laundry room/home office. This part of the home needs remodeling or rebuilding, but appears to have had permits done in the past, making it an excellent opportunity for the fixer-upper buyer, who does not want to have to do work before they move in. Pool room? Create a master suite? Family or party room? A great space awaits your imagination!! The two-car garage at the rear of the home also has future opportunity. WOW!
