About this home
Come live out your urban homestead dreams in this charming Chelsea Park home. Flooded with natural light, the versatile layout can function as two separate units or a single family home. Each floor has its own entrance, living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. There are also laundry hookups on both floors, with the machines located downstairs and a cozy gas fireplace as well. Outside you’ll love the huge lot, raised beds, mature plants/flowers and peaceful green space in back. The large deck off the kitchen is the perfect spot for morning coffee or outdoor meals. The sellers have done many cosmetic renovations, but also took care of major expenses like a new furnace and central A/C, water heater, electrical updates and most appliances. All this while maintaining the charm of original features such as maple hardwood floors, arched doorways and revolving bedroom closets. Tons of storage options. The little house with loft is a great space for hobbies, work or play while the chicken coop has a large shed for tools. Convenient location near shops and restaurants. Just 1.5 miles to the beautiful trails and shoreline of Seahurst Park. Great for commuters; close to the airport yet not in the flight path. Unassuming from the street, this home is much bigger than it looks, with a spacious, peaceful backyard that’s another wonderful surprise. Come see it for yourself!
