An unbeatable location for this awesome cottage on a large lot at the corner of Normal Ave and Georgia Ave! It exudes historic charm and character. The inviting rocking chair front porch has a wooden porch swing and space for a table to enjoy visiting with the neighbors in this friendly location. The house has 9' ceilings, hardwood floors, and picture molding throughout. The front door opens into a spacious living room with a bay window, decorative tile fireplace & mantle, and multiple doors/pocket doors. There are three bedrooms, each of which could easily lend itself to another use - whether another living area, office, or whatever fulfills your needs. The bedroom at the front of the house has beautiful old pocket doors and views to the front porch. The hallway leads to another smaller bedroom that features a second decorative fireplace. The third bedroom connects the living room to the kitchen and sunroom, and features a third decorative fireplace. With 11 windows, the sunroom is a bright and happy room with tons of charm. The eat-in kitchen is large and open with room to add an island, dining table, additional cabinetry, counter space, etc. The bathroom has an antique claw foot tub. You'll find a spacious & accessible attic via the pull-down stairs; a buyer could customize this space to suit their needs. The house is filled with quirky and whimsical details, and has fun, playful colors throughout. The backyard is large and open with two out buildings, one with power already run to it. These could be altered to suit your needs, whether as a garage space, studio, or office. This home is one block from the heart of Normaltown. This home is a gem, and is going to make someone happy! Under contract before published.
