2948 W 12th St

Opportunity knocks in South Tremont. The time has come for the Centenarian who has owned this house for 72 years to let it go. Her loss is your gain. Picture yourself on the front porch in a rocking chair or swing, overlooking the brick street, and visiting with passing neighbors. Enter the living room with bay window on one side, and charming nook on the other, and arched opening to the dining room. The heart of the home is the eat-in kitchen, with peninsula, main-floor laundry area, and access to bathroom. An enclosed porch off the kitchen leads to the full basement and the back yard. The private yard between house and alley-facing detached garage, is defined by tall Rose-of-Sharon hedges. A passage through the hedge leads to included extra lot which has paved parking accessible from W 12th St, and space for gardening or games. Or offset the cost of the house by selling the lot. This house served its family well for decades, but may need some updating for today's family. Four bedrooms surround a large common area with closets for the bedrooms. Attic space on the same level provides room for the addition of another bathroom. The garage has a single door which opens to the brick-paved alley, but there is plenty of room for 2 cars if another door were to be installed. What else will you do to remake this old house into your new home?
