About this home

Picture perfect, comfort and classic style sited on a tree-lined street in the sought-after Spring Hill neighborhood with a walk score of 90 and a three car driveway, should you have a car. Rarely does a home with character, charm, and detail in this condition become available. From the stained glass to the wide pine floors and natural woodwork, this house is a stunner with updated windows throughout. The first floor features living and dining rooms with soaring ceilings, two bedrooms, 1½ baths, an updated kitchen with granite counters and a deck overlooking the private, manicured garden with irrigation system. The second unit is two levels consisting of a living room, fireplaced dining room, updated bath, master bedroom with dressing room, meticulously designed chef’s kitchen, laundry closet and a private deck overlooking the city. The third floor offers three bedrooms - one with a deck is currently used as office - and an updated ¾ bath. This is a once in a decade opportunity!
