From the enclosed main floor porch are magnificent views of the Perennial Gardens with brick walkways; all enclosed by a beautiful ornate iron fence. Upon entering the gardens and just a few short steps across is a 1 bedroom cottage, 508 Wiliam, on separate parcel listed at $79,900, that originally housed the Summer Kitchen. Laundry/Workroom in heated garage.

    "This is a beautiful neighborhood with a lot of diversity. It has character and old fashion appeal. Large homes, duplex and apartments with its originality. The community has survived the worst although the love and spirit of the city is here. Perfectly located in the middle of everything, the smell of Fast Eddies Chicken or fried rice from the Hong Kong house decorates the air. I love it here, it’s safe with the beautiful mixture of people from all walks of life. Like with any city this area has its flaws, yet the flaws is what makes the beauty of it all!"
