The sellers are serious, and this home is now priced for an immediate sale. Bring your offers; this will not last. Vintage charm and modern versatility in this lovingly maintained 1892 worker cottage in Hyde Park, owned by the same family for 40 years. Enter through a welcoming foyer on the lower level, featuring a flexible bedroom/office, open-concept laundry area with kitchenette, mechanical room, a newly remodeled full bath with walk-in shower and heated floors, and a second bedroom with backyard access. Upstairs, the first level offers a spacious kitchen with an extended breakfast area under an oversized skylight and a patio door leading to a large wood deck and mature garden. A full bath with soaking tub, bright living room highlighted by a gorgeous fireplace-once wood-burning, now electric, with its original mantel and firebox preserved for historic charm, and a spacious dining room with built-ins complete this floor. The second level includes a vaulted-ceiling primary suite with skylights, walk-in closet, and tandem room with built-ins, plus a second bedroom and updated full bath with walk-in shower.
