Welcome to small-town living with big-time value in Alhambra.

The oversized side-entry two-car garage connects to a dedicated laundry/mud room, and both spaces feature durable epoxy flooring.

Outside, the fully fenced backyard includes a detached finished outbuilding that previously served as a private office and creative workspace.
