Exceptional property located on a quiet block in University City. Close to dining, shopping and area parks. A few blocks from public transportation: trolley, bus, or El. A few blocks from the local food co-op, Mariposa, VIX Emporium. Fully renovated within the past few years by one of the areas top Design-Build firms. From the front porch to the back bay, everything was considered, all the while trying to maintain as many original details as possible. Front porch for "chilling" after a long day. Enclosed storage in front. Compact and convenient living space with room for dining, and a very well-planned, functional kitchen. Nice outdoor space with southern exposure - for morning coffee and evening dining. Room for container gardening. First floor powder room. Three bedrooms and a full bath are on the second floor which still has most of the original pine floors and the original built-in armoire. Central air, gas cooking.
Half a block from Malcolm X Park and a 5 minute walk to Baltimore Avenue, this fixer upper has it all. Beautiful original detail is just waiting to be restored. Walk in past your covered front porch to find a bright and open living and dining area. The spacious kitchen leads to a mudroom and fenced in yard. The original stairs lead you to 3 large sunlit bedrooms and 1 full bath. Great for a 203k loan or a savvy investor!
