About This Home

As of June 2014

Gracious half-timbered craftsman on wonderful street. Located two blocks from Volunteer Park. Extra large lot with rare, oversized two car garage and additional covered parking under deck. Built in 1905, the home was one of the first on the hill and originally belonged to the grocer who ran the store on the corner, now known and loved as Volunteer Park Café. Large rooms, original leaded-glass windows, high ceilings, four bedrooms on upper floor, huge finished basement. Very well maintained.
