1008 Coronada Street

Some houses have a story before you ever walk through the front door, and 1008 Coronada is one of them. Built in 1953 and cared for by the same family ever since, this is a home that has been lived in, loved and adapted along the way. Kids were raised here. Memories were made here. And when Mom wanted a fireplace, the family added a space with a fireplace. That might be my favorite part of the whole story. Now, for the first time, it's ready for someone new. The location is one of the things that immediately stood out to me. LeClere Park is nearby with its walking track, pond, pickleball courts and plenty of outdoor activity. Spend a morning in this area and you'll see exactly what makes the location special—people walking, walking their dogs, playing pickleball and simply enjoying being outside. Inside, the home has a smaller, manageable footprint with plenty of possibilities. Two bedrooms are located on one side of the home, while the converted garage provides additional finished space. It is currently used to give the home three bedrooms, but the layout offers flexibility—the space could work as one larger bedroom or potentially be divided into two smaller rooms depending on what works for the next owner. There are still many original and older features throughout the home, and that's reflected in the price. The sellers aren't looking to update everything before selling. Instead, they're offering the property as-is at $85,000 and letting the next owner decide what they want to keep, change or improve. This isn't a house pretending to be brand new. It's a solid 1952 home with history, great bones, a corner lot and a location I think deserves some attention.
