Tudor Revival built in 1935, with updates through the '50s and '70s, on one of Mt. Tabor's best streets. The entry sets the tone: original mosaic diamond-pattern tile, an arched passage, warm fir woodwork and trim, brass hardware all intact. The main floor continues with an arched niche wall flanking the central window rounded arches, built-in fir shelving set into plaster niches, and a carved brick fireplace with the original mantel. This is the kind of detail you just don't find anymore. At 3,104 sq ft, there's genuine room to work with. New roof, newer furnace, water heater, updates to electrical and plumbing — the costly invisible work is largely done. The large unfinished basement plus two newly built backyard sheds give you serious flex space to finish however you like. Detached garage too. Walking distance to top-rated Glencoe Elementary and Mt. Tabor Middle School. Minutes from Division Street, Belmont, and Mt. Tabor park trails. Cosmetic fixer with loads of potential — bring your ideas and make it yours. And yes, there are beautiful hardwoods underneath that carpet.
