Charming Midtown Cottage in a quaint neighborhood on Semmes Avenue. This home is near Nixon's, Big Bad Breakfast, Dew Drop Inn, Soul Caffeine and several retail options. Home was built in 1925 and features a front porch, and a center hallway with stairs leading to the second floor where there are 3 good-size bedrooms. The proposed upstairs bathroom has been gutted and plumbed and ready to be renovated. The project was started but has not been finished. Downstairs is a bedroom with a bathroom connected that could easily be used as a sitting or a home office, living room, dining room, kitchen featuring quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, and laundry room. Historic features include high ceilings, crown moldings, hardwood floors, 3 decorative fireplaces, wide moldings and period fixtures. The original windows are still in the front of the house with double-pane windows on the other three sides. The fenced back yard has a nice deck and a back entrance onto the back-alley way where you can enter the property with a boat or trailer. Updates as per seller: HVAC unit 2024 with a 10-year warranty, new deck 2024, and fencing in backyard in 2021.
