About This Property: $469,000

Welcome to this S. Tabor charmer, so expansively enchanting, it defies categorization. But, let's try: built in 1950, it's got mid-century solidity combined with otherworldly outdoor spaces: mature, productive fruit trees, a grape arbor, and a park-like setting out back. The saltbox style architecture and foliage evokes New England in autumn. Inside, there are original details throughout: hardwoods, charming kitchen cabinetry, and vintage light fixtures. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms and a bath occupy an elevated perch among the trees, all flooded with natural light. There's a dedicated utility room with washer / dryer, pantry, and closet connected to the kitchen, plus generous bedroom closets round out storage options, with ample opportunity for added exterior storage. The neighborhood is coveted for access to all the Division and Foster- Powell spots, Mt. Tabor and Clinton Park. New roof in 2025. HES: 6. Walk score: 89. Bike score: 99!
