    What's special

    Cute as a button and full of charm, this Longfellow gem checks all the boxes! Tucked away on a quiet, dead-end street, this home offers the best of both worlds: peaceful privacy and close proximity to downtown. Morning strolls along tree-lined sidewalks? Check. Coffee and croissants from Deluxe just a few blocks away? Double check. You'll love the sunny living room, perfect for your houseplants, the inviting eat-in kitchen, and a spacious walk-out lower level with two additional non-conforming bedrooms (giving you five bedrooms in total)! Outside, enjoy a large, fenced-in backyard perfect for everything from garden parties to a game of fetch with your doggo. Bonus perks: Washer and dryer included, and a new A/C installed in 2022. Note: This home must be owner-occupied and cannot be used as a rental property until August 2033. This property is located in the City's Governor-Lucas Street Conservation District. See City's website for the historic preservation handbook.
