Solid home in a great location seeking a new owner. Has been student occupied for quite a while so bathrooms and kitchen need some love. Tower feature is permitted as a storage loft. Garage has a permitted 1/2 bath. Nice yard, off street parking. The new trail along the rail corridor will allow very convenient access to New Leaf, Verve, Kelly's, Bantam, Cat and Cloud, SCMB, Humble Sea, etc. Working from home? Then home should obviously be the Westside!
