About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to 1229 Josephine Street, a gem located in the heart of Congress Park. This large home is clean and ready for a new owner. You'll love the turn of the century features including detailed crown molding, built in dining room storage, and built in bookshelves. The property also includes a detached two car garage. The roof was replaced in February 2025 in preparation for a sale. HVAC was recently updated so the home features central heat and air conditioning. The upstairs dormer room is perfect for a new bathroom. The neighborhood features the botanic gardens; bus transit on 12th, Josephine, and Colfax; and easy access to Cheesman and City Parks. Other neighborhood fixtures include Chef Zorbas Diner, Peter's Chinese Cafe, and Wymans Pub.
