What an opportunity in Normaltown! 165 Sylvan is located on one of the least busy side streets in the entire neighborhood and it's across the street from a park!! you will love the hilltop perch and direct access across the street to the beautifully maintained and landscaped park on the Piedmont Hospital property. The park area is complete with beautiful stream beds lined with river rock, attractive paved paths and bridges, beautiful landscaping, greenspace and play areas. This is impossible to replicate folks. This is the pick of the litter. When was the last time you found a motivated seller with reasonable expectations in a perfect location like this? The property has been truly well maintained with hardwood floors connecting the large living room that's adjacent to dining room space. 2 full bathrooms!! Carport for protected parking. Recently encapsulated crawlspace. Room to grow out back. This property has the potential to be a forever home and will not last long.
