Glorious single corner home with huge, private rear yard on a neighborly, tree-lined street in the Cedar Park neighborhood of University City. Remarkable character, original detail, space & light. So much outdoor space! Renovated granite & stainless Eat-in-Kitchen. Front porch, rear porch & large grass yard surround this grand 5 bedroom + family room, 2.5 bath single. Separate dining room. Spectacular entrance hallway. High ceilings. Original doors, magnificent leaded & stained glass, detailed woodwork & trim & hardwood floors throughout. This is a rare opportunity to own a detached gem on a wonderful block. The kitchen is fully renovated & many other significant improvements (like the new roof, restored to match the original), though it needs some updating (e. g. , baths). Overlooks quiet, tree lined Springfield Avenue, within blocks of Clark Park, farmers market, Mariposa Food Co-op, Dock Street, Gold Standard, Vietnam Cafe & Grill Fish, Vientiane, and many other wonderful restaurants, shops & cafes.
