Description

Follow the gently winding, tree-lined streets of Lower College Park to 173 Bucknell, a classic 1950's 4-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home set amidst layers of drought-tolerant plantings and Hong Kong orchid trees. Welcoming and low-maintenance, the environmentally designed xeriscape offers a seasonal refuge for Monarch butterflies and hummingbirds easily observed from the private front porch. Inside, restored solid white oak floors highlight a layout designed for ease and flow. Renovated in 2023-25, this thoughtfully upgraded home now features a spacious kitchen with Koville soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, recessed LED lighting, a reverse osmosis filtration system, and an all-new appliance suite. Additional updates include a Carrier 3-ton heat pump HVAC system with NEST thermostat, new ducting and insulation, a heat pump water heater, an ABS private sewer lateral, a smart washer and dryer, a smart irrigation system, and a 200-amp electrical panel. Dual-pane windows and window treatments add to the home's comfort and efficiency. Pass through sliding glass doors to enjoy a backyard fully enclosed by a block wall covered in greenery, serving as a verdant backdrop to fruiting tangelo, nectarine, lemon, and avocado trees. Relax beneath a custom pergola where privacy and birdsong set the tone and enjoy year-round entertaining on the newly completed paver patio. A backyard shed offers additional storage for garden tools or the perfect playhouse, complete with a window box. Conveniently located just 1 block from Elmhurst Elementary School and a short stroll to Buena High S
