The master bathroom has a gorgeous clawfoot soaking tub and tiled walk-in shower. You will love the convenience of an upstairs laundry with tile floor and soap stone sink. At the end of the upstairs hall, there is a back staircase which provides access to a porch and plenty of attic storage. Outside, you will find a rear courtyard, carriage house, brick patios, walkways and lovely gardens. There is plenty of off-street parking on the brick parking pad or in the carriage house. The garage door on the carriage house has just been replaced. On the front porch, enjoy a nice shady spot on warmer days. The decking was recently replaced with imported hardwood. Walk to the new restaurant and breweries in the popular and expanding Soda Pop District. Also, it's convenient to the innovative Cargo District, home of CheeseSmith, Alcove Beer Garden, End of Days Distillery and much more. Make your appointment soon to fall in love!
