This is a single family 1 story home built in 1967 with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and full basement. It has a 2 car garage at the bottom and a 2 car garage at top front that is being converted into living space. The exterior is mostly stucco with some wood and the roof is a flat built up roof. You can see an image of the 2 car garage being converted in to an extra living space below.
