The freshly painted, open concept living room & dining room are perfect for entertaining and what cook wouldn't want to create in this gorgeous kitchen? Relax in the bright sunroom which opens to a private courtyard. The garage book ends this space. It's furnished with 2 garage doors for easy access to the street & the courtyard.

    "I have lived in this neighborhood for seven years and have had no problems. depending on the time of the year, uou can catch a live orchestra playing in West Park. Besides that, there are beautiful buildings and houses along the way. It's definitely a unique neighborhood, and dare I say... beautiful. "

    "Schools are nearby. Hospitals are close too. The music can be loud here and there but mostly it’s calm and quiet except for thru traffic… we’ve been on Fulton for 1 1/2 years now. It could be better but you get what you pay for really. It’s a decent neighborhood and sub par schools but if you’re active with your kids it will be fine it’s like any city I don’t know how else to explain it. "

    "Commute is moderate. Busy on the main streets but not on the side streets. Roads are very easy to navigate. Easy to get to popular destinations. Very close to highways. "

    "Sidewalks are covered in trash, not much grass, and poorly lit at night. A lot of dogs walk here but a lot of owners do not pick up after them."
