Lovingly restored and maintained by current owners over the last 25+ yrs w/ ATTN to every detail. Wrought iron fencing at front sidewalk, greets and ushers you thru the antique gate, up the entry path, in the front door to an uplifting, bright foyer (w/ elegant, engraved Fireplace mantel and sweeping banister) filled w/ natural light, shining through orig. stained glass, reflecting off gleaming, inlaid hardwood floors. Open, updated, pro-architect-designed gourmet kitchen w/ massive center island, provides Perfect culinary or entertaining / gathering space and flows out to covered, rear deck, looking out onto lushly landscaped, private, Low-maintenance-required, brick courtyard, w/ Fountain, art and statuary - creating an oasis setting of serene tranquility amidst the urban bustle - as well as covered parking/ carport space. Courtyard transitions nicely across a no-cut-thru brick alley to (Old Lou Neighborhood-owned) Jubilee Park.
