About This Home

As of July 2024

This 2 bedroom/1 bath house, one block from Clark Park and the 36 trolley is ready to be called home. Wooden floors have been refinished, fresh paint has be painted, spacious green backyard has been cleaned up - and all it needs is you! 1st floor boasts the stackable washer/dryer, a HUGE pantry/storage, and an open floorplan separated by the stairs leading up (these stairs greet you when you open the door - be forewarned) but you can flow from living room to kitchen and make it your own. "Nice" is the name of the game on the second floor, with two nice sized bedrooms and one nice sized bathroom (not those knee-knocker toilet-to-sink setups). And the backyard? Private and green, with some paved space for entertaining/relaxing and some green space for gardening - a perfect combo.

Come and see your new home today!
