Perched above a quiet street just a block and a half from all the fun shops and eateries on Alberta, you'll find this charming farmhouse full of warmth and character. The property is awash in vintage details, with an expansive covered porch, original fir floors, vintage pocket doors, and convenient built-ins. The excellent layout includes three bedrooms and one bath (with vintage clawfoot tub) all on the second floor, with a family room and ensuite bedroom with recently updated bath in the finished basement. Access the basement from either inside the home or the side entrance: this is the perfect space for long term house guests, a renter, or to create a peaceful primary retreat away from it all. Enjoy modern conveniences like a spacious kitchen with Corian counters, new tear-off roof ('24), new furnace ('23), and seismic upgrades for peace of mind. With a well-landscaped front yard, a fully fenced backyard with lots of flat play or gardening space, and a roomy driveway with parking for multiple cars, you'll have the ideal blend of walkability and peaceful neighborhood life that the Alberta Arts district is known for.
