There’s something comforting about this 1929 home that’s been standing strong for generations, & this one in Foster-Powell captures that steady, familiar feel. Inside, you'll find lovely original features including hardwoods, mullioned windows, & coved ceilings. There are two bedrooms & a full bath (plumbed for future laundry) on the main level, plus a very spacious primary bedroom on the upper level. The dreamy living room exudes charm and warmth. The updated kitchen is pitch-perfect, with gas range, stainless appliances, tile backsplash, & marble countertops. The basement has loads of untapped potential as well. The back yard is roomy, fully fenced, is lovely as is, yet one still has many options to create your perfect fantasy yard. The 1-car garage is detached, & the very long driveway has plenty of parking for more vehicles if needed. Located in the trendy Foster-Powell neighborhood. [Home Energy Score = 2.
