About This Home

As of May 2015

Elegant three story townhouse on a beautiful block in the Graduate neighborhood. This large, 3 BR, 1 BA home is a great find - partially renovated - easy to live in while you personalize with your finishing touches. The current owner has done just enough to reveal the home's inner beauty, keeping as many original details as possible; long leaf yellow pine floors, iron and wood railings, wood casings and formal mantel piece. The sunny all-new kitchen with skylight features slate floors, minimal new cabinetry w/ granite island and a stainless appliance suite. Full glass slider leads to an enclosed south facing patio garden. Open plan main level has huge living room, formal dining, coat closet (could be powder room) and kitchen. Second level has two bedrooms w/ great closet storage, hall bath and big laundry area. Top level is currently two more bedrooms but would be ideal as master suite. This is your opportunity to own a larger home at an affordable price, with comparably sized nearby townhouses selling in the high $500's and up!! Middle of the block, steps to Ultimo Coffee, SideCar, Kermit's, Igloo, Julian Abele park, Naval Square and everything wonderful about the booming Graduate neighborhood.
