You will love this American Four Square Colonial in the University area in the Westminster Tract. Built in 1918, the house contains beautiful original woodwork in the entire downstairs and much of the upstairs, with oak and maple hardwood floors throughout. The 8'8" ceilings give it a very open, voluminous feeling. The kitchen and bathrooms have been updated, and unlike many older homes, this house contains loads of storage space and good-sized closets! The deep woodsy backyard provides privacy and quiet right in the city, with city-dwelling animals often scurrying about.
