Cool factor of 11! Location is an 11 too! A couple blocks from coffee, restaurants, shopping, and Cowles Elementary. This mid-century capsule is full of charm and right in the heart of the metro’s best kept secret - Windsor Heights. The moment you enter through the arched front door you will feel it. This 3 Bedroom, 3 Bath home has been tastefully modernized while maintaining its age and charm. Older homes are never perfect but this one might be perfect for you. If you’re looking for rich patina and unique details this is the one. Once inside you are greeted with plaster archways and wood beam ceilings. The kitchen is recently updated with new appliances, a tasteful blend of new and antique cabinetry and granite countertops. The entire second floor has been transformed into a serene retreat complete with its own bath, large bedroom with sitting area and plenty of built-in storage. The roof is newer, the furnace and water heater are recently updated. Request your showing today!
