Seller is motivated! Welcome to this stunning Midtown home, perfectly located on one of the most sought-after streets in the area. Offering a unique blend of historic charm and modern updates, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence is an absolute must-see. The large front porch stretches across the entire front of the home, offering the perfect space to welcome and entertain guests, relax, or unwind. It's an ideal spot for enjoying the beautiful Midtown neighborhood and catching a breeze on a warm day. As you enter the home, you're greeted by beautiful original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and tons of natural light that create a sense of openness and grandeur. The home is full of character, featuring four fireplaces ( 2 gas and 2 decorative) that add architectural interest and timeless elegance. The recently updated kitchen is a true showstopper, with gorgeous quartzite countertops, a generous amount of white cabinetry, and a classic subway tile backsplash. Stainless steel appliances round out the kitchen, providing style and functionality for your cooking needs. Upstairs, you'll find two well-sized bedrooms. The full bathroom upstairs is whimsical, and features a water closet, walk-in cultured marble shower with bench, and a walk-in closet for plenty of storage space. There's also a small nook on this level currently used as an exercise area but could easily be transformed to suit your needs, whether as a home office, reading nook, or additional lounge space. A small interior storage room is also tucked away on this level, offering even more practical storage options. Outside, the property features a fully privacy-fenced yard, perfect for both pets and outdoor entertaining. There's also a shed on the property, sold as-is, providing extra space for storage or creative use. The home has a shared driveway to park behind the home if desired but currently, owners use street parking. This home is packed with charm, style, and potential, all in a prime Midtown location. Whether you're relaxing on the front porch, cooking in the updated kitchen, or enjoying the quiet privacy of the backyard, this home truly offers the best of both worlds: historic beauty and modern convenience. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to make this incredible property your own!

R-1
Single-Family Residential Districts
These districts are composed of both developed and largely undeveloped areas. The developed areas contain mainly one-family dwellings and small open areas, usually subdivided, where residential development seems likely to occur; few two-family and multiple-family dwellings are found in these developed areas. It is anticipated that most of the large undeveloped areas will ultimately be developed for residential use. The district regulations are designed to protect the residential character of the developed areas by prohibiting commercial activities and encouraging a suitable neighborhood environment for family life.
