Excellent renovated Freedman's Cottage Below the Crosstown. This property is well designed and lives much larger than it's size. Exposed timbers, wood floors and walls add to the rustic yet loft style feel. Two loft areas in the living and rear bedroom maximize space along with a basement area, which acts as the laundry area and allows for extra storage. The property underwent a studs-out renovation in 2008 and the roof, electrical, HVAC, plumbing was replaced. Located just one block away from Upper King and the upcoming Evening Post project. Campus is also just a short bike ride away down St. Philip St. Owner is listing this property in conjunction with 81 Line St. (next door) MLS # 15004042. The property is currently leased until 12/31/15 at $2600/month. Lot is not in a flood zone.
