Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Revived Residential.
A patio and a private garden sit behind this house, and the listing counts a private outdoor area of more than 60 square feet. The backyard is set up for gatherings and for simply sitting out, and the patio already in place means it's ready to use from the first warm evening.
Built in 1920, the house runs to 1,512 square feet over two stories, with five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The formal living room and dining room are separate from the kitchen, which suits a house that gets used for both everyday meals and company. The bright eat-in kitchen has a breakfast bar, and hardwood runs through the main floors. I like that the public rooms have walls between them, since that gives you more control over where sound and people go.
The home has a washer and dryer in the unit and a dishwasher, so the basics of daily routine stay inside the house. Ductless cooling is in place. The finished basement adds a recreation room, two more rooms with ample closet space, a laundry area with storage, and a three-quarter bathroom, and the garage gives you parking and extra storage on top of that.
Power Playground is about 7 minutes away on foot, with Jacob Joffe Fields about 9 minutes and Hickman Playground about 11 minutes. For errands, Key Food and Prezioso Bros. are each about 5 minutes away on foot.
