Property Description

Charming three bedroom brick cottage in University City. Close to Heman Park and the Centennial Commons Recreation Center. Well maintained home on an oversized lot. Presently the east side yard is being used for a community garden. The new owner may continue to use it in that fashion or use it for their private use only. The delightful covered front porch is a wonderful space to enjoy a relaxing breeze with the help of the ceiling fan to circulate the air. You will find gleaming hardwood floors in the living room, dining room, and main floor bedrooms. Freshly painted main floor interior and many windows help to make the house bright and cheery. The fireplace is the focal point of the living room. Presently it is blocked off and non-functional .The extra convenience of a main floor laundry adds to the livability of the house. Access to the second floor stairs is thru the kitchen. Presently on the second floor you will find bedroom three ( a garret bedroom) which does not have a closet. It is ideal for a guest bedroom or an office. Also upstairs you will find a LARGE unfinished space that provides a lot of expansion possibilities. There is plenty of room to put in an additional bedroom, bathroom and closet space. The lower level is an unfinished basement that provides an extra closet and shelving for storage as well as an outside access. This delightful home is just waiting for you to add your finishing touches and call it HOME.
