Cute home located on a corner lot with mature trees for plenty of shade. Character and charm in the interior finishes with the galley kitchen, a formal dining area and a living room. 2 bedrooms and a bath on the main complete the first floor. There are stairs leading up to an unfinished attic providing potential for additional living space. Enjoy the additional finish in the lower level with an additional non-conforming bedroom and a 3/4 bath. Located near bus lines and has an easy commute to anywhere in the metro. Driveway is off 58th St. so no backing onto University.
