Charming brick cottage with updates throughout and the most beautiful gardens. Spend the evening under the covered front porch chatting with neighbors or just enjoying the garden. Step inside and you'll find the perfect combination of 1940's character with modern amenities. Think hardwood floors, built-in bookshelves, original phone nook, and stylish bead board bathroom with a soaking tub to an updated kitchen & bathrooms, new interior paint, and an HVAC from 2024. Floor plan lives large and has all the right spaces. Head out to the fenced in backyard to enjoy the meandering paths through the garden with lounging spots hidden throughout. A wonderful place to enjoy sitting by a fire pit, relax with nature, and watch the flowers bloom throughout the year. 1405 Pennsylvania Ave is perfectly situated next to the School of Science & Math in the highly sought after Watts-Hillandale neighborhood. Walk to Oval Park, Joe Van Gogh Coffee, Monuts, Green Room (billiards!), Walltown Children's Theatre, and Walltown Rec Center (great for walking and exercising indoors!). A magical place to call home!
