Urban living in Historic Monte Vista! This grand one story, well into it's second century and listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is one of the oldest structures in the neighborhood. An expansive wrap around front porch with swing lets you enjoy the vibrancy of this thriving historic and entertainment district. Mere blocks from all the popular dining spots that make Monte Vista a "destination!" The home is full of towering seven foot windows, interior glass doors and high transoms. The living room has a window lined "bump out," offering cozy seating and a view of the tree lined avenue. A unique double fireplace lends ambience to both the living and formal dining areas. The kitchen is large, bright and open, overlooking a New Orleans styled bricked courtyard. (Kitchen IS plumbed for gas cooking!) Secondary bath is updated with separate shower and Japanese soaking tub. And if all of that is not enough, there is a charming three room apartment above the detached two car garage. Opening to a spacious deck and perched in the tree canopy, this "treehouse" features a living area, bedroom, bathroom, and bright, cheery kitchen lined with windows. Tremendous long or short term rental opportunities. Two car garage plus extra off street parking in the oak lined driveway. EASY BIKE RIDE TO THE PEARL!
