$240/sqft asking, vs a $202/sqft median across 899 closed sales in 32205 over the last 12 months — 19% above the area's closed prices. Condition and lot vary; that's what a showing is for.

All-Brick, move-in-ready, and packed with character--this 2 bedroom, 1 bath home makes smart use of its charming 1,002 sq ft where it counts. Even better, the home received a Brand-New Roof in July. Natural light fills every room, highlighting original oak hardwood floors. A stone fireplace graces the living room. A formal dining room adds dedicated space for entertaining, while the bonus flex room--with its rich wood-paneled ceiling--offers a stylish setting for a home office, creative space, or whatever fits your lifestyle. The kitchen features oak cabinetry and granite countertops, while the recently renovated bathroom adds a distinctive touch with gorgeous wood ceiling paneling. Kitchen leads to a covered breezeway connecting the home to the detached one-car garage, complete with a washer and dryer. Outside, the large corner lot offers a mix of sunny and shaded spaces, plus a serene and spacious fenced backyard with plenty of room to spread out and make it your own. A hidden side-yard retreat adds even more outdoor potential, featuring a shaded paved patio with built-in table and a vintage outdoor barbecue - all surrounded by natural greenery and dappled shade giving it an almost secret-garden feel. Conveniently located near Riverside, Avondale, NAS, and Downtown, you're also just a short ride from local cafés, restaurants, boutique shopping, and Boone Park. Classic brick construction, flexible spaces, a new roof, and a location that keeps you connected--this one is ready for its next chapter to unfold.

What to check on this one

  • Verify new roof installation date, warranty details, and builder name (July installation).
  • Obtain flood zone designation from FEMA map; request elevation certificate if in AE/VE zone.
  • Confirm plumbing material and condition; 1949 home may have cast-iron or polybutylene issues.
  • Get HVAC system age, type, and maintenance records; original systems common in this era.
  • Request 4-point inspection estimate; insurer likely requires it for pre-1980 brick home.
  • Verify detached garage structure safety; confirm washer/dryer connection and electrical codes.
