THIS IS AN ORIGINAL, cute and kitschy this circa 1890's home is still a charmer. Enter the kitchen which has been modernized with a large island/snack bar, open shelving, and washer and dryer area. The dining room is beautiful with hardwood floors and sliding glass door bringing in tons of light. This flows to the living room and main floor bedroom, again with hardwood floors some newer windows, and original though painted, woodwork. The stained-glass transom's in living room and bedroom will not remain but replaced with glass. The enclosed front porch is entirely enclosed in glass and has a great view of the canal and bridge. You can walk out onto the roof of the lower basement room, this is a rubberized roof and would need some decking so as not to damage the sheathing, but just image this as an open patio. The second floor features the second bedroom overlooking the canal with closet in the hall between bed and bath. The bathroom is huge with soaking tub and hand shower, plus plenty of storage. The basement was once an apartment. The apartment has been removed except for family room/ large office or sitting room with gas stove. (Marked as office on data sheet). The exterior has a fenced garden, deck off of the entrance and an older storage shed. The city has always allowed the owner to park in front as well as driveway (where paved).
