A generous corner lot surrounded by mulberry bushes holds this little gem of an East Side home...just awaiting your personal touches. Small but well-laid-out, this home's hardwood floors and ached doorways common to this era are complimented by an updated kitchen and single level living - yes, that includes laundry on the main floor! Move in without worry with newer mechanicals and windows and enjoy a condo-alternative-lifestyle with small spaces inside while still retaining the privacy and affordability of a single family home. Lead water service has been replaced, and the garage is serviced by 220V for your projects! The city-owned park across the street is a perfect additional green space, and all the East Side has to offer is right out your front door! Call today for a showing, and let's use this price adjustment to get you into your new home early in 2026!
