This mid-century home is in the historic and highly sought after Longfellow Neighborhood. This three bedroom has had historically appropriate kitchen and bathroom remodels that feature solid wood cabinets, subway tile and ceramic floor, higher end appliances, cast iron bathtub, and features reproduction lighting from Rejuvenation, extra closets for storage, and a spring hall storm will result in a new roof to be installed this summer. HW flooring throughout the main level, is in keeping with the overall charm. There is a one car garage with an automatic garage door opener and additional parking off the adjacent alley. The laundry is in the full basement, which can be used as storage, a work out room, or rec area. What also sets this home apart is the private patio and the professionally landscaped exterior - a wonderful variety of colors and textures to be enjoyed by both the homeowner and the neighborhood. The bus stop is a block away and Longfellow Elementary is 4 blocks away.
