Before there were award-winning restaurants and stand-out bakeries drawing buyers to Church Hill there were its parks, none more iconic than Libby Hill Park. The wait for a house overlooking this park can be a long one and the wait for a house on a corner longer still. This 1890 row house is nicely set above the street affording privileged park views. But views and a prime location are just the start of the story. Inside you will find rooms with high ceilings bathed in light and set off by the glow of aged pine floors. The entrance hall, with its 19th century staircase, opens to the living room, which in turn opens to the dining room and beyond that an eat-in kitchen, full bath, and original rear staircase. Upstairs are three bedrooms — including one overlooking the park — and a hall bath. Improvements of recent vintage include a TPO roof, a conditioned crawl space, and brand new kitchen and laundry appliances. With only a small fenced garden in the rear, the home makes for a perfect lock and leave lifestyle. On the other hand, for those sticking close to home, the park is an epicenter of neighborhood activity. N.B. The house is freshly painted inside and the floors have been redone but there are NO furnishings; images showing the same are the result of virtual staging.
