This charming Old Village home is located on desirable Pitt St., just around the corner from Alhambra Hall. The current owner has done various upgrades since they have owned it, including upgrades to the kitchen and both baths. The kitchen has white shaker cabinets, white carrera marble countertops, and stainless appliances. The bathrooms are all tile. The kitchen is open to the living and dining area, and a new family room was added about 4 years ago off the back. The family room has a fireplace, lots of built-in bookshelves and cabinets, and a wood tongue and groove ceiling. This room opens onto a gorgeous backyard beneath the shaded canopy of a beautiful oak tree. Lush landscaping, a firepit, and a custom outdoor shed that has been converted to a home office are just some of thehighlights of this area. The backyard makes you really want to be outside. Other upgrades include new HVAC about 3 years ago, a rinnai tankless water heater, and the house has an architectural shingled roof. Also, the current owner uses the outdoor custom shed as a home office if someone needs a little more space. This home is in an ideal location on Pitt Street, right around the corner from Alhambra Hall, and close to all the amenities that Old Village has to offer.
