56 Hemphill St

Experience the romance of the 1920's living in this surprisingly spacious Arts & Crafts Cottage style home. Feeling like a country getaway perched on this corner lot near the edge of Riverview Park in the popular Observatory Hill neighborhood.The expansive wrap around partially covered rear deck lifts you high above the street almost like a tree house. The deck, dining and living rooms all have direct access from the bright updated kitchen with newer appliances. In the den area off the large living room is a wood burning stove which the present owner says really reduced winter heating bills. The home does have an updated furnace. All the staircases from the basement to the attic are unusually wide and comfortable for this size of home. The original wood floors have been refinished in a nice dark stain in the upstairs rooms. The second bedroom is like a mini suite with two small adjoining rooms. The city just replaced the water line from the street to inside the house.
