The Place

A four-bedroom, three-bath classic in the heart of Old North.

The Details

Get the classic look, feel and grandeur of an Old North home in this four-bedroom, three-bathroom property. But what will really sell you is the backyard — a residential oasis, featuring a concrete pool, waterfall, lush gardens and flowering trees, accompanied by sandstone patios, limestone walls, poolside cabana, built-in gas barbecue and a new deck. Of course, inside this place is no slouch either, with stained wood window frames, a natural wood-burning fireplace, French doors and hardwood flooring. In the kitchen, you’ll find more cabinets than you might know what to do with, a convenient double oven and a bright, naturally lit dining area. A finished basement downstairs offers plenty of room for a home theatre, workout space and a gas-burning fireplace. For the ambitious homeowner, an unfinished attic offers plenty of potential for renovation projects.
