This charming 1930's Heights bungalow has been tastefully renovated and is the true definition of Heights Living! With 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom in the main house, as well as a spacious loft, there is plenty of space for storage and a work from home office. There is also a detached garage/flex space complete with a second full bathroom right off the back porch - this space would be ideal for a secondary office, work out room, or in-law suite! This home is perfect to live in now and build later, build now, or build out - seller has plans for addition that have been approved. The backyard space is breathtaking with a large patio and screened porch. A bonus is the alley access that is already landscaped - perfect for a garage renovation with living quarters above. A huge plus to this remarkable home is the location! You are 4 blocks from 19th/20th St shops and restaurants, Heights Hike and Bike Trail, and a short walk to Lights in the Heights and many other annual local attractions!
