About 3831 California Ave

Charming 130+ year-old home perfect for a DIY homeowner. The hard work is done, so you can move in and update at your own pace. A new roof was installed in 2018. In 2023, the home received a new front door, vinyl windows, plumbing updates, and central heating and cooling for the first time in its history. Retaining much of its historic charm, the home features a classic shotgun-style layout with a walkthrough bedroom, a traditional design from its time. The retro kitchen is functional as-is or ready for an easy update thanks to modernized plumbing, including a new copper water service/inlet and PEX water lines. The home also has a modern electrical panel with Romex wiring, providing a solid foundation for any future upgrades. Livable now with only cosmetic improvements needed, this home offers endless possibilities to restore its original character or give it a fresh new look. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a historic home with modern upgrades—schedule a showing today!
