Enter through the original front door to the separate foyer with slate tile.

Now this is a place to cook in! Quaint sun porch is off the kitchen and leads down into the yard. The rest of the main floor consists of: two bedrooms with refinished floors and crown moldings; full bathroom which has been updated and a bonus den space which makes the perfect TV room. Second floor with a large master bedroom overlooking the Park with newer refinished pine floors, large walk-in closet and additional attic storage. Room is large enough for a sitting area as well. Other bedroom up here also has refinished pine floors and overlooks the backyard. Updated full bath rounds out this floor. Do you like to entertain? This home is the perfect backdrop for it and the lower level is no exception. HUGE family room complete with a gas fireplace and tile floors is large enough for a conversation area as well as a game area. This will surely become your favorite hang out space. Need an extra room? Bonus room down here complete with built-ins, tile floors and a great closet would make the perfect home office space or a guest bedroom, if needed. The deluxe spa bathroom has a separate shower, jetted tub, tile floors and a pedestal sink. Need a lot of storage? This home has an abundant amount down here including a potential workshop space. The backyard on this home is an urban oasis complete with a covered patio, perfect for outdoor entertaining and conversating. Brick patio space and even a spot where you can grow your own herbs and produce! Landscaping surrounds the grassy area as well for Fido or the kiddos. The brick two car garage also includes an off street spot as well. Updates include: zoned HVAC, HWH, electric, plumbing, windows and more! Just wait until you see the seasons change while sitting on your front porch overlooking Carondelet Park. Take a stroll across the street to take a walk around the Park and marvel at the nature right in your front yard. Opportunities to live directly across from the Park rarely become available, so now is your chance to call Leona home!
