This absolutely charming 1922 Piedmont Bungalow offers original character along with solid updates and versatile bonus areas. So many wonderful features: freshly painted, inside and out, full-width covered front porch (perfect for that morning coffee), newly refinished oak and fir floors, abundant natural light, clawfoot bathtub, eclectic open kitchen w/skylight, refinished vintage farmhouse dual-drainboard sink, copper countertops, vintage Kelvinator metal cabinetry and new appliances including downdraft gas range/convection oven. The massive covered back deck is perfect for year-round use no matter the weather. The upper level has low ceilings height but offers plenty of usable space and potential. The home is heated by a combination of the DEQ-approved wood stove and efficient AquaTherm HVAC system that uses hot water instead of flame to heat the air to be circulated. The location offers easy transit and commute options, convenient freeway access and it?s a short hop to Penisula Park or Farragut Park. A must! [Home Energy Score = 3.
