This one is from my heart - 57 years in our family and soon to be a new owner! One of AE's most sought after streets - finished in late 40's- double lot next to the park and Lake. The spacious, rambling two story home was added on a couple of times and will do with a renovation plan to re-purpose for the next 50 yrs. But you can't find a more solid, better place to do it. From the hardwoods buried under carpet, arched entrance ways, large rooms (tons of living space) to the best back yard around (level fenced, ready for gardening love). Short walk to park & pool. Rare find - double lot - private backyard, wooded park and Lake Avondale next door plus wonderful neighbors surround! The kind of location and opportunity you rarely find in our small City of Avondale Estates! Walk or bike to the lake - great walking path around the lake. Or stroll to the park on Dartmouth two blocks away and enjoy the park (with access to our wonderful Charter Museum School, by application/lottery) and next to Avondale Swim & Tennis Club (membership optional).
