Classic SE Side two-story with the original woodwork, built-ins, and hardwood floors this area is known for. The main level features a bright living and dining space, one bedroom, and a full bath. Upstairs offers three additional bedrooms, a second full bath, and a bonus room that works well as an office, nursery, or flex space.
The home includes central air (a rare feature for this neighborhood), an oversized 1-stall garage, and a brand-new concrete driveway off the alley measuring approximately 80 feet, providing excellent off-street parking. The walk-up attic adds convenient storage with potential for future finishing. A large covered front porch completes this solid home on a street lined with historic properties.
