Move-in ready and full of character like quarter-sawn oak floors and captain's windows. Nearly the whole interior and entire exterior has fresh paint. Swag and stockings will look perfect on the oak mantle that surrounds the brick fireplace. Wide trim and door moldings lend history, while updated kitchen and bath satisfy today's buyer. Plant yourself on the screened porch in the summer, away from the heat of the day and overlooking the brick and craftsman homes of Waveland Park. Lower level rec room is handy for extra TV watching or office work. Detached garage can be for your car or your cave.
