Clean as a whistle Townhouse across from Gorgas Park in the coveted Roxborough neighborhood. This spacious Townhome has been in the same family perhaps since it was built in the 1920’s. It has been improved over the years and meticulously maintained from the beginning. As you approach the house you will find an enclosed 3 season porch front with windows all around that can be opened for airflow. The front door is the original wood and glass to bring natural light into the LR, while inside there are wood parquet floors throughout the house installed by Granddad many years ago. The LR is spacious and leads to the formal DR with the generous kitchen beyond that has space enough to accommodate a table and chairs. The kitchen was update in the 1990’s with Oak cabinets that still look like new. The appliances have been updated in the interim as well. From here you have access to the deep, fenced-in back yard with a bulkhead access to the basement. The second story of the home has 3 BRs and a hall Bathroom with a shower over tub. Four windows in the house have recently been replaced with double pane, double hung, high efficiency vinyl windows. Most of the other windows are aluminum, single pane replacements. As you descend into the basement you will be amazed by the height of the ceiling. This is where you will find the laundry area, there are 2 tubs, the newer gas Hot Water heater and Boiler for the radiant heat throughout the house. There is a standup Freezer, a large lighted closet under the steps, a handy workbench and cedar chest storage all located in the basement. Under the front enclosed porch is the “cold storage” room where the electric panel is located and includes shelving and a cabinet. Much of the wiring was updated in the 1990’s when the kitchen was redone and can be seen in the basement. Come see this gem that is just waiting for your polish!
