House notes

  • Carries the MacGregor architectural style in the MLS; the 2005 listing described it as a "split level English styled MacGregor"
  • Legal lot 24 of the Nissen’s Addition subdivision
  • A permitted 2021 addition added a primary bedroom with French doors to a deck, a laundry area, a study and a second bathroom
  • The addition is visible in the county roll — improvement value rose $5,399 above the Prop 13 cap on the 2021 roll and a further $29,580 on the 2022 roll, while land value tracked the 2% cap exactly
  • Detached studio outbuilding at the back of the lot, wired for power and finished as a flexible room
  • The 2005 listing advertised a "magnificent oak tree" in the rear yard; no mature tree appears in the 2025 listing photos
  • Fruit trees in the yard — lemon, tangerine, peach, fig and blueberry
