Adorable 1935 white stucco cottage with green shamrock shutters symbolizing good luck! Located on a quiet street in the Hancock neighborhood, this well maintained home retains many of its original architectural elements including hardwood floors throughout. The traditional floor plan features a spacious open living and dining area, two bedrooms, one bath with eclectic green 1930s tile, and a screened-in back porch. The detached garage has space for a workshop, and a large two-car carport provides additional covered parking. The tree-shaded backyard is fenced with alley access in the rear. Great walkable neighborhood just a few blocks from the University of Texas campus, Lee Elementary, Hancock Golf Course, and HEB.
