Nestled in the center of the beloved Longfellow neighborhood, welcome to this historic brick home at 718 Grant St. Simply constructed and finished, this modest 2 bed 2.5 bath home from yesteryear is ready for your special touches. Step right up to the covered porch where many a quiet moment awaits. On the main floor, natural light flows into every room, from the living room to the quaint kitchen, on through the second bedroom. You also have a half bath and two common rooms flexible as dining, living, or office space. The electric fireplace in the living room will remain with the home. The upstairs loft has sweet closets and wonderful clawfoot tub in the attached bathroom. The mostly unfinished basement holds the laundry and a finished full bath as well as lots of dry storage space or workspace. The lush and private backyard is fully fenced and backs up to Ralston Creek, current owner is not required to pay flood insurance. Enjoy your time on the patio with a morning coffee, play your favorite backyard games, or garden to your heart's content. Just a stone's throw from Longfellow Elementary and a short walk to downtown, this charmer is in the middle of everything! Fresh interior paint, new kitchen counter, new upper cabinets on one side of the kitchen and new microwave. Newer heater in 2018 and A/C added in 2018. So many loving
