Public Remarks: For only the second time this wonderful home is on the market with some very hard to find features in the Highlands. You will be amazed by the HUGE eat-in kitchen and spacious rooms-no doubt this home is much larger than it appears. The Master BR has a sitting area, large walk-in closet, built-in bookcases and a large unfinished Bonus Rm. Other desirable features inc new windows and roof in 2012, updated bath, det garage, a large walkout basement providing tons of storage and recreational space, a privacy fence, a flat backyard that has been updated with a patio, low maintenance landscaping & garden area. Walk down one of the friendliest streets in the city to the Farmers Market, St. Francis of Assisi and all the fabulous stores in Doouglas Loop!
Spacious well-built home with hardwood floors, breakfast room. Furnace and hot water heater about 9 years old, roof about 4 years old. Screened porch, all rooms are spacious, fenced yard. 1 car garage needs TLC.
