As you cherry pick for the sweetest spots on the eastside, this is one of them–a stone’s throw from Sewallcrest Park, Hawthorne, and Division, yet buffered in the slowed-down quiet of a well-loved Southeast pocket. In classic bungalow fashion, this home boasts a broad front porch, a prominent fireplace, dining room built-ins, and well-articulated moldings. To improve upon the past, the master suite inlcudes a tiled shower and soaking tub. There’s also a skylit bonus room that could be anything from a yoga space, a studio, an office, or a nursery. The kitchen has also been updated with slate tiled floors, tiled counters, and a massive butcher-block island. At its core, this is a 3 bed, 2 bath home with bonus upstairs, sunporch off the back, and full unfinished basement. Situated on this versatile corner lot, there are beds for edible gardening, a patio for BBQs, and a fenced area for privacy and pets.
