1950s charm, a stacked-stone fireplace and a fenced front yard, all minutes from downtown Redding. This single-story 2-bedroom, 1-bath home in southwest Redding still has the details you rarely see in newer homes: arched doorways, a pass-through window between the living room and kitchen, and a painted built-in buffet with drawers and a wine rack. Step in from the covered front porch to a living room built around the fireplace, with large front windows that pull in the light and a ceiling fan overhead. The kitchen keeps it simple with white cabinets, then opens to a separate dining room under a pendant light. A real dining room is something people miss when they don't have one. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs through the living areas, both bedrooms and the bathroom, which has a tub-shower. The 1,072-square-foot home sits on a level 3,346-square-foot city lot. It has an attached 1-car garage, driveway parking, a wall furnace, and public water and sewer. The location does a lot of the work here. Groceries, shopping and the hospital are close by. Placer Street and Highway 273 are right there, with I-5 and the Sacramento River Trail a short drive away. Inspection reports are done and available, so you can look at this home with clear eyes from day one. A charming, easy-to-own Redding home that's close to everything.
