From the brick columned, covered front porch, to the original craftsman trim & decorative sandstone fireplace surround, to the expansive (850 + sq ft), unfinished area of basement, detached garage & extensive off-street parking, to the "hidden", fenced area on the south side, this charming, 4 bedroom, 1.5 bath home has something for everyone! Despite the benefit of kitchen and bath updates, the early 1900's vibe is still intact. This corner lot setting is conveniently situated between The Landing & the downtown brewery scene, with great access to I-405, waterfront parks, good schools, & shopping!
