About This Home
Classic Craftsman-style shotgun cottage with bay windows and original fireplace. This house sits at the top of the original seawall that came down 6th Street so it has never flooded. It is believed to be circa 1912. There is a very original one car garage with board and batten siding. The kitchen area does have a dining area in a bay window. Lots of windows and several have shutters hung in Bermuda-style. 3 blocks to the front door of Jennie Sealy Hospital. The progression of rooms in this shotgun cottage is: living room, bedroom, kitchen with dining area & full bath followed by the laundry/utility room.
No HOA.
