What's special

Tile floorsUpgraded appliances throughout

4 bedrooms. 2 bathrooms. Zero deferred maintenance. This row home has been extremely well kept from top to bottom, featuring real hardwood and tile floors, and upgraded appliances throughout. There's an additional - nearly 250 sq. ft. - of finished basement, presently used as a sewing room. How will you use that room?! The big-ticket items are already covered — new roof, new gas furnace. Parking? Covered — private off-street plus on-street. Getting around? Easy — bus access and Uber pickup right nearby. Schools close by. Restaurants a short walk away. Santander Arena close enough for a spontaneous concert night. This is city living made simple — schedule your showing today. NOTE: The seller is purchasing a new home. Settlement on this property is tied to that deal. That means the settlement date has some built-in flexibility that we'll need to work around. Happy to walk through the details.
