Property Description
Tucked in the heart of Old SW, this home offers classic character, thoughtful updates, and one of the neighborhood's best front-yard views directly across from Highland Park. Start your morning with coffee on the covered front porch, or wind down in the evening watching a round of disc golf. And the front porch is only the beginning--this home offers THREE covered outdoor spaces, including a screened porch just off the kitchen and a private covered porch off one of the bedrooms. Inside, hardwood floors carry the home's character throughout, while the kitchen pairs timeless style with modern function. Custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and SS appliances create a warm, well-appointed space that opens conveniently to the screened porch.
