Property Overview

This Crestview home on Watson Street presents a rare combination of vintage character and modern functionality. Built in 1951, the residence retains its original hardwood floors throughout, creating authentic warmth that frames the thoughtful 2014 remodel completed with permits. Updates to electrical systems, plumbing at fixtures, windows, kitchen, and bathrooms demonstrate a commitment to preserving the home's mid-century charm while enhancing livability. The three-bedroom, two-bath layout flows naturally across 1,207 square feet of well-appointed living space.

What truly distinguishes this Watson Street property is its exceptional detached 480-square-foot garage structure, built in 2017 with full insulation, electricity, and a new mini-split climate system. This versatile space invites unlimited possibilities—artist studio, home office, creative workshop, or secure storage—while a separate one-car garage handles additional parking needs. Recent investments including a new roof (2026), tankless water heater (2021), and irrigation system (2021) provide reliable infrastructure on a generous 7,026-square-foot lot.
