2555 Altura AVE Montrose, CA 91020

First time on the market in 40 years! But this is no fixer. This home has been lovingly maintained and offers many charming features that let you know you've entered a very special home. As you walk into the open-concept living room and dining area, you're flooded with light by the many large windows and doors on all sides, plus built-in shelving surrounding the white-washed fireplace. Two spacious, sun-drenched bedrooms welcome you with more windows and ample closet space, separated by a long hallway and full bath with vintage tile with gold accents. Take the stairs off the dining area and enjoy the finished basement -- perfect for an office space, art studio or playroom -- which effectively doubles the size of the house. A breakfast nook and new dishwasher await you in the kitchen at the end of the house, where the backdoor leads to a wraparound yard on this 11,000+ square foot lot. There's plenty of storage in the basement as well as the "red room" structure in the yard. If an income unit is on your list of must-haves, there is a partially converted ADU with shower, sink and bathroom in the 500+ square foot detached garage. Don't forget about the heated, above-ground pool with a stunning view of the mountains, perfect for a soak after a long day of hustling in the city. And if all that isn't enough, there are award-winning public schools just a half mile down the road. Come enjoy the best of Montrose in a home you'll be proud to call your own.
