Property Description
Here's your chance to own the most unique house in the Longfellow neighborhood! The front house presents as a lovely, well built two story 1900's home with original woodwork and thoughtful updates, but then - BAM! you travel through the underground passageway and you are in a spacious 1950's cinderblock one story addition with high ceilings, massive potential and a secret tower room. Live in the front and rent out the back, use the back as a writer's or artist's studio - or rent out both sides, whichever you prefer. The back half is zero-step entry with a wide door. Two bedrooms and a bath in the front and the same in the back. This home offers maximum privacy and is found at the end of the cul de sac with street parking in front and off street parking off the alley in the back. Large, flat side yard ideal for gardening, leisure activities or twilight firepit sessions. Enjoy Deluxe Bakery just one block away.
