This home feels like a cottage in the city. It has the character and warmth of the period in which it was built...the 1940's, while having been updated sometime in the 1980's. Currently, the house has two bedrooms and one and a half baths. The beauty of this house is it is perfectly livable as-is and could be renovated over time. A huge perk for the fixer upper buyer is that there are permanent stairs to the attic...perfect for a primary suite build-out! Again, that could be done down the road or never. It is just great to know that there is space for options. The hardwood floors run throughout the house, except in the kitchen, baths, and in the sunroom, which have tile floors and terrazzo floors respectively. The kitchen is bright and feels spacious. It includes a cozy built-in breakfast nook. The laundry room is just off the kitchen and includes a pantry area. The living room is huge! 10-foot ceilings and tall windows, that give the feeling of a treehouse. Two of the coolest parts of the house are the sunroom, and the breezeway screened-porch that links the garage and the house. Both spaces are unbelievably inviting. The sunroom could be an office space. The landscaping was professionally designed and installed. There is an irrigation system to help keep all the beautiful plants healthy. To enjoy the outdoors, you have the option of the quaint brick patio, the newly rebuilt deck, or the breezeway screened porch. This is a house not to miss. Nothing cookie-cutter here. Just good old-fashioned charm. Open Sunday 2 -4.
