Enjoy summer months in the backyard with perennial gardens, raised garden beds and green play space. The garage is 1.5 cars with additional parking on the concrete pad off the alley. This block is known not only for it's prime east location close to both the lake and easy commute to the city, but also for long standing block parties! It is a gem to show! Many updates including a new roof (2016) and solar panels already paid off - a benefit to the new owners. Please see list of improvements in additional information.
