Built in 1939 for Robert Garrison Jr, an employee at the Fidelity Bank, this clinker brick Tudor Cottage offers all of the historic charm we crave with the modern updates we must have: new roof, new HVAC, new water heater all installed in 2023. Basement waterproofed. Kitchen updated. The coolest work-from-home office built into the eaves upstairs will make you the envy of all your work-from-home friends. Heated and cooled sunroom at the back of the house has charming jalousie windows and brick floor. Outside, a large urban lot (.24 acres) offers a big side yard and back yard for play. Detached wired and plumbed outbuilding could be transformed to a guest house or art studio (presently used for great additional storage in an already storage-friendly home). Don't miss the rare historic details in this one: round-batten arch entry door with decorative stone surround, 6 over 6 sash windows, clinker brick so pronounced you might be tempted to boulder instead of going to the climbing gym. Roll/stroll to Forest Hills Park, all things downtown, restaurants galore. Elem school slated for Morehead Mont 24-25 school year.
