This story and a half bungalow has been updated for modern living while retaining much of its' original character. The main level has well preserved original architectural features including natural wood trim, spindled handrail on the staircase, stained and leaded glass windows and Chicago Grill fireplace with the original English tile surround. The modern updates include a rear addition done in the 1980's that provides a main floor family room that is open to the updated kitchen with modern appliances, granite counters, crisp white cabinetry and a built in desk area. A bedroom with an adjoining 3/4 bath completes this level. There is a finished basement under the addition that provides a modern laundry space and an additional living area that would be an ideal work out space, play room or man cave. On the upper level, there are two bedrooms plus a large studio or office with vaulted ceiling, built in desk and balcony overlooking the backyard. The newer furnace, evaporative clooling, electric generator and leaf filters on the gutters should make this home comfortable and carefree for years to come. The covered front porch is the perfect place to watch the world go by and overlooks the low maintenance landscaping. The East facing rear patio is cool and shady place for summer barbecues. This home is located on a block of friendly neighbors and is a short walk or bike ride to the Louisiana Light Rail Station, Whole Foods, popular Washington Park, Lincoln Elementary and the many restaurants, shops and Sunday Farmer's Market on Old South Pearl Street.
