Welcome to one of Westover Hills original farm houses. This charmer is nestled behind a canopy of trees and sizable front yard. She is part of the city, yet apart. Mature Magnolias, Hollies, Figs, and a Butterfly Garden grace her land, and your senses, as you relax on her side porch. She boasts Pine and Oak floors through-out, with a wide stair case and an Oak handrail befitting any grand entrance, replete with beautifully cut windows and high ceilings. Sit with your lovely and warm yourself at the stone encased fireplace with wood stove. The cedar-lined closets in the Trunk Room are a fashionista’s dream. You will love its two-story shed, and detached heated garage come workshop/studio. Updates include plumbing, wood siding, and a water abatement system (ask agent for PDF for other improvements), it wouldn't take much to modernize some of the fabulous retro and/or historic features (or return the primary bedroom into a third bed). This is your dream home! You will SIMPLY LOVE this gem, and it’s sought-after location. Walk/bike to the river, cafe’s, restaurants, and the new brewery.
