A classic 1909 built home in the Tangletown neighborhood and McDonald International Elementary school zone. Home has had some updates over the century but plenty of room to make it your own. Nice level lot with alley access for possible DADU addition. Coffee and dining just around the corner with Greenlake and Lower Woodland Park in easy walk/bike distance. Great opportunity with a lot of potential upside in a fantastic neighborhood.
