The story
Vintage character, modern comfort and exceptional flexibility in a prime, established West Madera neighborhood. This classic mid-century home has been thoughtfully maintained and updated while preserving the original details that give it warmth and character. Beautifully restored original hardwood floors, original mid-century kitchen tile and a welcoming living room with fireplace reflect the home's 1950s heritage, while new HVAC systems (Nov. 2021 and June 2025), a remodeled secondary bathroom and enhanced lighting provide the comfort and convenience of important modern upgrades. The main residence offers three bedrooms and two baths, with the third bedroom especially well suited to today's lifestyle as a comfortable and functional home office, den or flex space. One of the property's most distinctive features is the permitted accessory/in-law suite, providing exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests, a private studio or office, or potential rental income. With its own bathroom, generous storage, built-in cabinetry and new wood-look laminate flooring, this additional living space greatly expands the ways the property can be enjoyed and used. Outside, the oversized approximately .29-acre lot provides space seldom found in new developments. Alley access leads to a dedicated paved area ideal for RV, boat, trailer or additional vehicle storage, while the attached two-car garage provides convenient everyday parking and additional storage. Located in the desirable, established westside of Madera, the home enjoys convenient access to shopping, schools and everyday services while offering the mature setting, generous lot size and individuality that distinguish an established neighborhood from newer developments. 213 Hilton Street offers a rare combination: authentic vintage charm, meaningful modern improvements, flexible living and income potential, substantial outdoor space, and a location that makes everyday living easy
