Located in the heart of historic Avondale with a 5 minute leisurely walk to the Shoppes of Avondale. This 1928 bungalow w pool sits elevated and back from street with a sweeping front yard. Its construction is unique, double queen brick, typically reserved for two-story houses making it solid and insulated. Only the second time on market in the past 5 decades. It has been lovingly cared for by military owner over the past 15 years with full kitchen and bath renovation (2008), new 25-year roof (2018), repointing and replacement of brick and exterior wood trim as necessary (2020), complete Benjamin Moore exterior and interior painting (2020), and complete restoration of pool (re-marcited) to include all new plumbing and pump system (2020). Its elevation and northern exposure ensures a nice breeze, plenty of natural light, and morning and afternoon sun on the backyard sparkling pool! Alley access ensures private entrance into backyard carport. Although a two bedroom, it feels larger with a galley kitchen that flows into a large sunroom. The sunroom provides possibilities as a home office, workout/yoga room, or just extra lounging space and overlooks the tropical, backyard pool oasis. This charmer has an inviting and commanding presence, historically unique open-concept providing entertainment options while providing privacy, and is well worth a look.
