In the shadow of the Claremont Hotel, discover a timeless allure in these two charming vintage Craftsman homes on one lot in the highly desirable Elmwood neighborhood. Perfectly situated within a few blocks of vibrant College Avenue's renowned restaurants & eclectic shops, this unique property offers an exceptional opportunity for both homeowners + investors. The front bungalow, a 2bd w/ sunroom that opens onto a sunny deck, was extensively renovated in 2011 & combines modern amenities w/classic Craftsman charm. Gleaming wood floors run throughout, while southern exposure, w/the help of a notable original kitchen skylight, ensures that each room is bathed in natural light. Fireplaces in both the LR & bdrm create a cozy ambiance of warmth. The newer roof adds peace of mind, making this home move-in ready. The rear 1bd cottage in original condition, has retained rich architectural elements that await your personal touch. A rustic brick fireplace compliments original built-in shelves that frame a cozy window seat against a backdrop of wood paneled walls, encouraging an embrace of its historic beauty. Wd flrs & south exposure continue the theme of warmth & light throughout. This home also boasts a newer roof + prive yrd and has the feel of a secluded hideaway.
