Description

As the neighborhood of East Lake has evolved, it’s become known as one of those hyper-central (Glenwood Avenue is right there) Intown locales that has managed to retain a reputation of quiet streets, a community vibe, and easy-going authenticity — qualities reflected in the humble-chic exterior and fully restored interior of 557 Daniel Avenue. A 2-bedroom 1-bath layout places this early-century cottage firmly at the top of the “turnkey starter home” pile, but at just over a modular 1,200+ square...As the neighborhood of East Lake has evolved, it’s become known as one of those hyper-central (Glenwood Avenue is right there) Intown locales that has managed to retain a reputation of quiet streets, a community vibe, and easy-going authenticity — qualities reflected in the humble-chic exterior and fully restored interior of 557 Daniel Avenue. A 2-bedroom 1-bath layout places this early-century cottage firmly at the top of the “turnkey starter home” pile, but at just over a modular 1,200+ square feet, there’s still plenty of room to spread out. Hardwood floors, oversized California archways, and crazy amounts of natural light connect the living room through the dining space, and into the completely renovated kitchen replete with beautiful subway tile backsplash, stone counters, and stainless appliances. The cool color palette is carried into the remodeled bathroom with high-end finishes, and into each of the (quite) sizable bedrooms. Buyers are likely going to gravitate toward establishing one room as a primary suite, while allocating the other into the role of a home office and guest quarters (just add daybed and 23-inch monitor). Finally, the backyard is a pretty big deal, and with western exposure, has "entertaining at sunset" written all over it. There’s a solid elevated deck that will accommodate a grill and a table with no problem, and after a few stairs, a giant privacy-fenced yard with some old-growth trees and a fire ring that sets the mood for beers after dark, while still giving the dog plenty of room to sniff around. This one goes live on on the market Friday, February 5th. Don't end up on the wrong side of multiple offers.
