Property details

About 6016 Carpenter Ave

Take a look at this wonderful split level lovingly cared for by the same owner for 37 years. Two family rooms, one on the main floor, and the other in the lower-level walk-out. Included is a very nice addition to the primary bedroom that makes a great sitting room or could be converted into an adorable nursery. The potential here is extraordinary, as most big-ticket items have been taken care of over the years. UPDATED - mechanicals, electrical panel, newer roof, sump pump system, radon mitigation system, and maintenance-free siding and windows. Also don't forget to notice the tens of thousands of dollars spent on retaining walls, planting beds, and beautiful landscaping in general completely fenced yard. Live in this one while you update some interior cosmetics to your taste. Right off the freeway an centrally located minutes from shopping, schools, and entertainment venues. Don't miss this one, with the updating possibilities and location it won't last long!
