About This Home
As of November 2019Sunset Heights charmer - sitting next to one of the most beautiful trees in the Heights. This creole inspired property is freshly painted and offered for sale by the Original (motivated) owner. High ceilings, recessed lighting, granite counters plus extensive moulding throughout. Per seller this property and the home next door were built for the builders to live in - and twice the number of piers were used underneath. Rear entry garage, private patio in the back + porch and balcony across the front. Mosquito system included. All bedrooms are upstairs + a bonus computer nook or place for homework. Efficient gas heating/cooking; separate laundry room, hardwoods on the floor, butler's pantry + a separate bar area make this a great home for entertaining. Notice how much nicer the street aesthetic is compared to nearby streets with curbs / gutters. (i.e. fewer people park along E 26th St for any length of time) Make an offer today! - (room sizes are approximate)
