This home is close enough to City Park that you will feel like the park is your very own backyard! Just step out the backdoor, walk 1/2 a block and you are in the park for quiet walks, city jazz concerts, tennis, jogs with your dog or a day at the zoo or museum! This 1/2 duplex (the south side) has so much of the original charm and character it was built with in the early 1900's, and some modern conveniences that make it even more comfortable. The stained glass front door welcomes you into the charming foyer and main floor 1/2 bath. The living area is open and the original fireplace has been converted to gas, but the tile surround was preserved. If you are a chef, or even a serious cook, you will love the kitchen that features TWO BLUE STAR gas stoves and 4-burner cooktops, a BLUE STAR dishwasher, TWO double sinks, a very large red granite island for prep or eating, and a very large SS refrigerator. It could be considered a kosher kitchen! Imagine the cooking you could do here with family and friends. The upstairs has a very large bedroom (once was two rooms, but a wall was taken down) that will accomodate your bed plus a sitting area, office or perhaps even a nursery. The 2nd room upstairs could be a 2nd bedroom, home office, nursery, craft room.....so many options. A full basement is where you will find the laundry. Three covered porches to choose from, a front porch, a back porch and an adorable east facing porch off of the main bedroom to enjoy your morning hot beverage and watch the sunrise over the city! Other improvements added by the seller include: new windows throughout the main and upper levels, a reverse osmosis water filtration system, new sewer line within the past 5 yrs, new gutters in 2021. All of this so close to downtown, uptown, great restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, the Carla Madison Recreation Center, a dog park......everything expected in great urban living!
