About This Home
Completely renovated from top to bottom, this three-story Sherman Hill home gives you the best of both worlds: historic charm + zero home projects. Beautiful hardwood floors can be found throughout, along with crisp white trim (some original), neutral paint colors, a wood burning fireplace, and period inspired doorknobs and light fixtures. The newly finished attic offers a fourth bedroom/flex space, which can also be used for an office, playroom, or all of the above! A deck and a secure passthrough space below connects the home to the two car garage with alleyway access. Walk to restaurants, breweries, Gateway Market, the iconic Smokey Row coffee shop, and so much more!
