Property Description
A fully permitted 426 sq ft JADU, an updated single-story main home, and an expansive 9,892 sq ft lot—Magnolia offers flexible living today and room to grow tomorrow. With 3 bedrooms and 2 baths in the main home, plus a self-contained JADU, the layout is ideal for multigenerational living or “house hacking”—living in the main home while renting the JADU to help offset ownership costs. The generous lot also offers potential for future expansion or an additional ADU, subject to city approval. Inside the main home, an open great room brings the living, dining, and kitchen spaces together for easy everyday living and entertaining. Crown molding, recessed lighting, and dark-toned plank flooring complement a white-mantel fireplace, while French doors open to the backyard patio. The remodeled kitchen features an oversized quartz island with bar seating, gray shaker cabinetry, a stainless farmhouse sink, tile backsplash, and a professional-style gas range with a stainless hood. The primary suite includes a private bath with a soaking tub and a separate glass-enclosed shower. Converted from the attached garage, the fully permitted JADU features vaulted ceilings, wide-plank flooring, and its own entrance. A full kitchen with quartz counters and a gas range, a private bedroom, full bath, and in-unit washer and dryer create a comfortable, self-contained space for family, guests, or potential rental income. Outside, a broad concrete patio opens to a deep backyard with room to garden, entertain, or create your own outdoor retreat. A long private driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles, completing a property that blends classic character, modern updates, and future potential.
