Every day is a walk in the park in this corner house overlooking Libby Hill Park. Set well above the street, this 1890 row house enjoys privileged park views. But views and a prime location are just the start of the story. Inside you will find rooms with high ceilings bathed in light and set off by the glow of aged pine floors. The entrance hall, with its 19th century staircase, opens to the living room, which in turn opens to the dining room and beyond that an eat-in kitchen, full bath, and original rear staircase. Upstairs are three bedrooms -- including one overlooking the park -- and a hall bath. Improvements of recent vintage include a TPO roof, a conditioned crawl space, and brand new kitchen and laundry appliances. With only a small fenced garden in the rear, the home makes for a perfect "lock and leave" lifestyle. On the other hand, for those sticking close to home, the park is an epicenter of neighborhood activity.
