Ready to step back in time and fall in love with this idyllic Mayberry-like Talmadge home? This comfortable and inviting home was built on one of the desirable "Sister Streets" in the Northern-most corner of Talmadge. It comes with all the character of a classic 1949 bungalow that's been thoughtfully updated through the years. Tax records reflect a 3BR/2BA but the 3rd BR was converted to an office/den. You could always convert it back as there is a charming She-Shed, Artist/Writer's cottage in the back with electrical! You'll love the fabulous enclosed front red-brick courtyard w/ wood gates, original front door with brass viewer, floor to ceiling living room windows, mostly original walnut stained floors throughout, plaster walls with curved/bullnosed corners, 4" base & coved ceiling molding, and two sets of built-in niches to name a few. The perfect home for easy living and entertaining with an open floor plan where every back room of the home opens to the extra large deck through large sliders/French doors. From the deck you can step down on either side to the expansive red brick patio (vintage bricks collected over many years), ample turf green space, and don't forget the charming She-Shed! The front and rear gardens are landscaped with low-maintenance plants/succulents and include a mimosa tree, wonderful jasmine vines, an orange tree, and a fabulous 50+ year old Canary Palm. This little Talmadge enclave boasts underground utilities, obvious pride of ownership, and a great sense of community with neighborhood block parties, food truck nights, and Christmas carolers.
