Situated on the marvelous block of Pace Street between Person and Blount, it's hard to imagine a more perfect urban location. Sitting in the peaceful oasis that is the backyard of this home, you'll have no idea you are less than a three-block walk to eateries like Crawford, Jolie, Standard and Oakwood Pizza Box, or hang-outs like Wine Authorities, Pelagic and Person St Bar. No car needed here -- even Publix is walking distance. As to the house itself, whether one considers this home a little bit Queen Anne or perhaps a little bit Victorian, one cannot debate the charm, character and history of this home from 1903. The home was most recently renovated in 2017 and boasts a working chimney (with gas lines and ready for gas logs, if one wishes) with exposed brick reclaimed from Chicago, Illinois circa 1920. The front porch, entry, stairway up to the second and side porch on the second floor all evoke a time of gentility and grace. What was originally a matching side porch on the first floor was at some point enclosed in and is now part of the large eat-in-kitchen. The backyard is sensational and has a European courtyard flair: central rectangular turf area with stamped concrete patio and pebbles surrounding the perimeter of the turf. A large fire pit is at the back-rear and the entire backyard is fenced and private. The backyard is VERY dog-friendly and Fido-approved. Upstairs, two bedrooms each with their own bathroom complete the picture; currently there's a sliding door between the two to create the feeling of a giant bedroom suite. (Seller is happy to remove the sliding door and put back the original wall if you prefer!)
