The vintage bathroom showcases impeccable original dusty-rose and burgundy tilework in both the surround and the floor. Beautiful oak hardwoods run throughout the home, including the upper level (a strong candidate for a future primary ensuite).The partial basement includes a laundry area with washer and dryer, plus direct access to the garage. Recent improvements'roof replacement and a high-efficiency 95+ gas furnace'take care of two major 'big-ticket' items.All of this sits just two blocks west of Mt. Tabor Park, the reservoirs, and the community garden.
