Description
Charming, light-filled,1920’s North Downtown 3 BR, 1&1/2 BA with off-street parking, just steps away from the historic Downtown Mall’s art, music, restaurants, and theaters, bookstores, Main Library, and McGuffey Park. Its welcoming porch is a bridge from the sunny garden to the 2-story house above a bone-dry walkout basement built on a plateau. Shade trees create a City oasis for all seasons. Generous living spaces with 9′ ceilings, original hardwood floors and woodwork, brass details, and working wood burning fireplace in a second living room. Complemented by large windows with tree top and sunset views. Ample closets and built ins on two above-ground stories. Covered stonework retaining wall 3 ft. away from the house provides dry, graveled, secure outdoor storage area. Basement with workbench, abundant storage and laundry provides ample space for creatives of all ages. Meticulously updated and maintained: 2024 circuit breaker for electric car charging and new energy efficient mini-splits in every room, 2015 roof, 2017 half bath, and 2022 cottage kitchen with large farmhouse sink. A separate additional parcel allows for home extension or separate ADUs. Open hillside location provides the promise of ground solar, and gardens!
